## Abstract

ABSTRACT: DATA MANAGEMENT AND STATISTICS (DMS) CORE
 The Data Management and Statistics (DMS) Core (Core C) supports The University of Kansas Alzheimer’s
Disease Center (KU ADC). Our personnel are faculty and staff from the Department of Biostatistics and from
the Division of Medical Informatics within the Department of Internal Medicine. DMS Core faculty and staff
have the training and experience to support the research needs of investigators that utilize KU ADC resources.
The central focus of this core is managing and maintaining the entire spectrum of study-related information for
the Clinical Cohort that is collected across the cores and research projects. To support this objective, the DMS
core created and maintains a REDCap web-based data capture platform. DMS Core staff prepares data
extracts for investigators and NACC and provide statistical, informatics, and bioinformatics expertise for
research using the KU ADC. AD research is supported by the DMS Core under the following specific aims.
 Aim 1: Maintain data and information management systems and adapt to the KU ADC’s evolving needs.
The DMS Core continually develops and supports the systems needed by the various core and projects. Data
capture forms are built for research projects. Data from the Clinical Cohort are efficiently uploaded to the
coordinating center (NACC).
 Aim 2: Enhance the quality of AD and aging research by providing investigators with statistical and
bioinformatics expertise. The DMS Core aids investigators in designing their research studies and provides
statistical oversight and analytic support. This support includes active participation in preparing research
presentations and publications to ensure proper interpretations of findings. We also develop novel statistical
methodology to enhance interpretations of experimental and observational data collected for AD research.
 The DMS Core remains highly integrated across the cores. The DMS Core provides data management,
data extracts, and statistical support and plays a key role as a liaison for core-to-core and core-to-research
project interactions. The Core also supports the development, informatics, statistical, and bioinformatics needs
of KU ADC pilot projects.
