Design, Biostatistic and Ethics Consulting

Overview

Writing a research grant or paper is an important and time-consuming endeavor for researchers of any age or experience. For new investigators, the task is even more daunting. Another important service offered to Mayo Clinic researchers at the Center for Translational Science Activities (CTSA) Service Center involves statistical and epidemiological advice. The aim of the center's statistical and epidemiological consultants is to enable more investigators to design, conduct and analyze their own studies. Biostatisticians and epidemiologists from the Department of Health Sciences Research answer questions regarding hypothesis formulation, study design, sample size, and choice of analysis and interpretation and publications. This is a critical service within the center as it promotes new investigator research as well as a sense of collegial learning.
