## Abstract

ABSTRACT
The Biostatistics Core Resource will provide comprehensive biostatistics analysis and data management support
to the entire SCORE team. The Core's primary goals are to ensure (1) research conducted in the SCORE is
based on efficient experimental design, (2) quantitative methods used in the SCORE research are appropriate
for the design of the study and for the data generated and assumptions required for these methods are
appropriate and (3) data collected in the Projects are managed and subjected to rigorous quality control to minimize
the possibility of errors and are organized in a manner that facilitates inter-project collaboration. The Biostatistics
Resource Core will also work closely with the SCORE Leadership Administrative Core to provide statistical
support for the Pilot Project Program, and the SCORE Career Enhancement Core to provide statistical training
and assistance for SCORE Scholars. Biostatistics Resource Core members have a long history of collaboration
with the investigators on this SCORE. Biostatistics analysis and data management support will be centralized
within the Core to ensure necessary expertise is always available to all members of the SCORE and to facilitate
multiple utilization of the same expertise as well as contribute to the dissemination of state-of-the art analysis
techniques uniformly across all projects. Moreover, the Core is well poised to initiate and promote interactions
among SCORE projects and investigators. While the services are centralized within the Biostatistics Resource
Core, since the Core is housed in the Department of Public Health Sciences at MUSC it is well positioned to
leverage the knowledge base and experience of all the members of the department.
