> **NIH NIH U54** · UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA MEDICAL CENTER · 2020 · $366,282

## Abstract

Our objective is to develop the infrastructure to conduct high-quality CTR and enhance
development of competitive CTR programs and research teams across Great Plains.
This KCA will support the overall Great Plains IDeA-CTR mission with five aims: 1)
Consult and collaborate on study design, data acquisition, and data analysis to support
investigators and teams from partnering institutions. 2) Mentor IDEA-CTR core
biostatistics and epidemiology faculty to develop new methodologies and tools for the
study of diseases of aging in rural and underserved urban populations. 3) Educate and
mentor IDeA-CTR Scholars on best strategies for study design and analysis for the full
range of CTR. 4) Review the biostatistical plan of all Great Plains IDeA-CTR pilot grant
applications. 5) Provide access to health data sets to follow indicators of health and
diseases of aging across the lifespan.
