## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
The objective of the Biostatistics and Data Management Core (Stats Core) of the Wisconsin Head and Neck
Cancer SPORE, is to promote excellence in head and neck cancer translational research by providing
dedicated and outstanding biostatistical consultation and collaborative support to the HN SPORE projects,
Pathology Core, Administrative Core, and other investigators whose projects are supported under the
Developmental Research and Career Development Programs. This support and collaboration will include
laboratory and clinical-based research, focusing on translation from laboratory studies to clinical studies. With
patient-derived xenografts that more closely reflect the biology of the original human cancer, the HN SPORE
will open a new dimension in translational work. The Stats Core will achieve its objective by supporting
investigators and providing statistical and data management expertise, thus enhancing the quality and
ensuring the validity of the research undertaken in the HN SPORE. The Stats Core will provide statistical
expertise in all stages of the research: from formulation of research questions through study experimental
design, data collection and management, to data analysis, interpretation and dissemination of results through
publications.
The Specific Aims of the Core are:
 Aim 1. To collaborate with the HN SPORE investigators in the design of research studies, in analysis and
 interpretation of data, and in writing of scientific manuscripts disseminating the HN SPORE results to the
 scientific community.
 Aim 2. To ensure the transparency and validity of statistical analysis via rigorous data collection and data
 management activities which include centralized management and standardization of the variety of data
 that arise from the HN SPORE projects; confidential and secure data archiving and data sharing; and
 validation and consistency check of collected data across HN SPORE projects.
 Aim 3. To conduct, when necessary, methodology research to develop new statistical methods relevant to
 the individual projects.
