# Biostatistics & Epidemiology Methodology Core

> **NIH NIH P30** · JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY · 2022 · $562,838

## Abstract

The JHU CFAR Biostatistics and Epidemiology Methodology (BEM) Core provides leadership to
support collaborative, educational, and research initiatives for the Johns Hopkins HIV/AIDS
community to promote and support innovative HIV-related research. The BEM Core blends the
best aspects of existing resources at JHU and expertise in HIV/AIDS that is scattered across
different Departments into a Core that has been serving to enhance and coordinate high quality
HIV/AIDS research. Johns Hopkins has strong areas of methodological research expertise with
individuals that have been highly productive and on the forefront of methodological research
and application. Biostatistical and epidemiological methods are necessary tools that support and
extend the full spectrum of research in HIV/AIDS here at Johns Hopkins: from basic
biochemical, pharmacological and genetic research investigations to epidemiological studies
and clinical trials to policy-level research initiatives; including both domestic and international
experience as well as spanning HIV prevention and treatment. The BEM Core also seeks to
support the CFAR-wide initiatives such as the Baltimore Collaboratory. Indeed, the BEM Core
has been integral to help foster a stronger relationship with the Baltimore City Health
Department. Therefore the overall goals of the BEM Core is threefold: 1) Service — to provide
state-of-the-art bioinformatics, biostatistical, epidemiological, and dynamic modeling services in
support of innovative HIV/AIDS research, 2) Education — to train and mentor staff, students,
fellows, and junior investigators (with particular focus on Sub-Saharan Africa, Ending the HIV
Epidemic, and dynamic modeling) in state-of-the-art population and quantitative methods used
in HIV research, and 3) Collaboration — to collaborate in initiatives across the JHU CFAR as
well as with other CFAR biostatistics cores. Together, the BEM Core provides value added to
the HIV/AIDS research community as well as to our Baltimore community.
