# Biostatistics Bioinformatics Shared Resource

> **NIH NIH U54** · TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $77,300

## Abstract

7. PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT
The involvement of skilled biostatisticians and bioinformaticians is critical for the success of research in the
basic and translational sciences. Research that is conducted to reduce the burdens caused by the racial
disparities in cancer incidence is no exception. For this reason, a Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared
Resource (BBSR) is an integral part of this Morehouse School of Medicine/Tuskegee University and the
University of Alabama at Birmingham Comprehensive Cancer Center Partnership. For full/pilot projects,
outreach, research education and planning and evaluation activities, the BBSR provides consultation and
collaborative support regarding study design, data management, and statistical and bioinformatics analyses.
The BBSR also assists in the development of grant proposals, abstracts, and manuscripts.
In addition to its work supporting the research of Partnership investigators, the BBSR's support enhances the
biostatistical and bioinformatics capabilities of the Partnership institutions. This is accomplished by providing
guidance to junior investigators and scholars (underrepresented undergraduate/graduate and medical
students, medical residents, post-doctoral fellows, and junior faculty) regarding sound applications of statistics
and bioinformatics principles in cancer research. The BBSR also participates in the Cancer Eeducation
Programs of the Partnership.
