## Abstract

Core 008 - Clinical - Project Summary/Abstract - Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR) 
The overarching goal of the Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR) within the Chao Family Comprehensive 
Cancer Center (CFCCC) is to provide statistical and intellectual support to all CFCCC investigators at all 
phases of scientific projects. The mission of the BSR faculty and staff is to be intimately involved in the 
conception, design, implementation, analysis, and reporting of research conducted by members of the CFCCC. 
While the majority of effort from BSR faculty is devoted to providing collaboration and service to CFCCC 
investigators the BSR also encourages the development of statistical methodologic research that relates 
directly to the scientific agenda and needs of CFCCC investigators. The BSR is staffed by six PhD level 
statisticians and one MS level statistician. Dr. Daniel Gillen, Professor of Statistics with affiliate appointments in 
the Department of Epidemiology and the Program in Public Health, serves as the Director of the BSR. Dr. 
Michael Phelan serves as the BSR Facilities Manager. Drs. Christine McLaren, Kathryn Osann, Thomas 
Taylor, and Chad Garner all hold faculty appointments at UC Irvine. The faculty and staff of the BSR have 
particular expertise in multiple areas of statistical methodology with applications to cancer research, making 
them an invaluable resource for CFCCC members and key contributors to the overall research mission of the 
Cancer Center. Examples of the many services provided by the BSR include collaboration on study design, 
data analysis, and interpretation, development of research protocols and grant proposals, assistance with 
database design and linkage of clinical, epidemiologic, and laboratory data, statistical expertise for CFCCC 
oversight committees, and education, training, and mentoring of CFCCC members.
