# Core 2: Biostatistics/Bioinformatics Shared Resource

> **NIH NIH U54** · UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AT BIRMINGHAM · 2021 · $70,389

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT – BBSR:
(The Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource (BBSR) is identical for all three Partnering Institutions)
The involvement of skilled biostatisticians and bioinformaticians is critical for the success of research in the
basic, behavioral, and translational sciences. Research that is conducted to reduce the burdens caused by the
racial disparities in cancer incidence and mortality 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 O’Neal Comprehensive Cancer Center Partnership.
For full/pilot projects, outreach, research education and planning and evaluation core, as well as the bioethics
shared resource activities, the BBSR provides consultation and collaborative support regarding study design,
and statistical and bioinformatics data 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 at all levels regarding sound
applications of statistics and bioinformatics principles in cancer research. The BBSR also participates in the
Research Education Programs of the Partnership through the Research Education Core.
