## Abstract

Abstract 
The Design, Data and Biostatistics Core (DDBC), previously known as the Methodology, Data Management 
and Analysis Core (MDMAC), is an integral part of the UM Pepper Center. The primary goal of DDBC is to 
provide methodological, data management, and analytical support to OAlC affiliated investigators, that address 
the focus of the OAlC - inflammation, metabolism, predictors and interventions for function of elderly people - 
as well as aging research in general. In collaboration with other OAIC Cores, DDBC will improve the quality of 
OAIC research studies, help foster development of junior researchers, will nurture forming interdisciplinary 
research groups, and ultimately enhance quality of research on late-life processes. DDBC faculty will address 
the following four aims: 1. Advise and assist OAlC investigators in methodological design, and analytical tasks 
in conducting research projects; 2. Training and mentoring for OAlC investigators; 3. Facilitate the access of 
OAlC investigators to secondary survey and administrative research data sets used for observational 
population research; 4. Undertake a limited number of internal efforts/projects to identify in existing literature or 
develop novel methodological approaches, and implement and disseminate them as software tools.
