Biostatistics/Epidemiology/Research Design Key Function Committee

The CTSA Biostatistics/Epidemiology/Research Design Key Function Committee serves as a forum for the exchange of information on current approaches to the integration of biostatistics, epidemiology, and research design into clinical and translational science research programs within and across CTSA institutions; encouraging the identification and implementation of best practices among institutions; and identifying existing barriers to major gains in efficiency in the national clinical research effort with development of strategic plans for overcoming those barriers. Plans may include development of new methodologies as well as novel educational approaches.
