## Abstract

BIOSTATISTICS AND DATA MANAGEMENT (BD) CORE PROJECT SUMMARY 
BIOSTATISTICS AND DATA MANAGEMENT (BD) Core will provide biostatistical, epidemiologic, and 
data management support for the four research Projects and the Cores of UNM METALS. The BD Core 
aims to ensure and maximize the quality of the information the UNM METALS team discovers and 
disseminates in its efforts to better understand ecological and human health impacts of abandoned 
uranium mine contaminants. Each research project is represented by at least one faculty biostatistician 
and data analyst, selected to maximize the link between their applied research focus and the project. 
The BD Core will provide the UNM METALS projects with statistical services and innovations in study 
development, study design, and data analyses, and will develop new statistical methodology as 
necessary to optimize the UNM METALS study needs. Further, the BD Core will develop statistical risk 
models to predict the likelihood of disease from environmental characteristics of the waste materials 
based on the integrated results across Projects. The BD Core will also function as the data coordinating 
center for the data collected through the Projects and other Cores to provide database infrastructure 
and management for laboratory experiments, environmental and epidemiology studies, and 
interventions, including review and monitoring of trial conducted within the Superfund UNM METALS, 
thereby ensuring data quality, study integrity and subject safety. Core members have strong 
backgrounds in biostatistics, epidemiology, basic science, translational research, intervention, and 
state-of-art environmental data management, and they will provide appropriate approaches for the 
design and execution of the proposed research Projects and will work closely with the Cores for 
seamless integration of all aspects of this innovative UNM METALS Center.
