# Biostatistics Support Module

> **NIH NIH P30** · UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON · 2022 · $84,982

## Abstract

The purpose of the Biostatistics Support Core Module is to support the statistical and
computational needs of core investigators, their collaborators and students, and new investigators
carrying out vision research at the University of Houston. Studies supported by the module will
ranging from basic research to translational and clinical research. The biostatistics module will
provide statistical support via a Core Biostatistician to the ongoing Core investigators, while
facilitating future research and assisting in preparation of new grant proposals from seasoned
investigators and new faculty who are establishing independent research careers. The scope of
support by the BSM will include: study design (sample size and power calculations and writing
statistical analysis plans), plans for data acquisition and/or management, performing statistical
analysis (ranging from short consults to conducting analysis of the research data (including data
management and exploratory analysis). The module also will provide advice on appropriate
software packages and instruction on basic and advanced statistical concepts. A collaboration
with the Texas Institute for Measurement, Evaluation, and Statistics (TIMES), a large statistical
services center at UH will proved access to that institutes resources. The Core biostatistician
holds a joint research faculty appointment in TIMES to strengthen the Core services by providing
seamless access to additional resources of TIMES, and to strengthen TIMES by adding formally
trained biostatistician to its ranks. Module strengths in epidemiology and clinical trials will be a
resource for those doing clinical research. The Biostatistics core resources and expertise will
stimulate collaboration and advance vision research at the University of Houston. The module will
be directed by Charles Stewart Professor Ruth Manny OD, PhD with over 35 years of basic,
transitional and clinical research experience, nearly 30 years of NEI funding and 10 years of
module supervision. The Module will be co-directed by Heather Anderson, OD, PhD, with over 15
years of experience conducting basic, translational and clinical vision research.
