## Abstract

Project Summary / Abstract: Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR)
The goal of the Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR) is to ensure excellent and timely biostatistical support for
study design and development, data management, and data analysis and interpretation in a cost-effective
manner for all Research Programs of the University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC). BSR also provides
innovative approaches to statistical design, as needed, to ensure UACC investigators achieve their scientific
goals. This support is facilitated by a team approach and the long-term dedicated involvement of specific BSR
personnel embedded within all four of the UACC Research Programs. BSR faculty and staff are collaboratively
involved in the conception, design, implementation, analysis, and reporting/manuscript preparation of
laboratory, translational, clinical, and population-based research conducted within the UACC. The BSR
provides the following services: 1) extensive consultation tailored to individual scientific goals and expertise
(experienced vs. early stage investigator; clinical vs. basic research background); 2) statistical considerations
for funding applications (translation of scientific objectives into statistically testable hypotheses, sample size /
power justifications, and development of statistical analysis plans); 3) statistical analysis and presentation
(from short-term statistical consultations to longer-term collaborative involvement in ongoing research
projects); 4) monitoring ongoing study progress (accrual reporting, data completeness, and outcome
ascertainment); 5) data management (use of OnCore and REDCap); 6) clinical protocol development (sample
size justification and development of an appropriate statistical analysis approach); 7) assistance in preparation
of manuscripts and reports; 8) statistical review of UACC protocols by service on the Scientific Review
Committee; 9) monitoring study safety and data integrity through service on the Data and Safety Monitoring
Board; 10) education and training (including presentations in workshops for clinical fellows and seminars for
UACC Research Programs). BSR members play an essential role in design and analysis and also work with
investigators to develop a logical framework for their research questions and help to ensure valid interpretation
of the results.
