Center
for Biostatistical Services |
The
Center for Biostatistical Services, as a
core unit of the University of
Cincinnati Medical Center, is located in
G-27 Kettering Laboratory and is
administratively housed in the
Department of Environmental Health. The
Center has been in existence since 1998.
The mission of this center is to
"leverage funding on grants" by
providing first-rate Biostatistical
assistance to the grant proposals.
Dr. Rakesh Shukla, Ph.D., Professor
of Biostatistics & Epidemiology of
Environmental Health, is a founder
director of the Center. During the years
of its operation, the Center has
assisted in 304 grant proposals till
March 2008. Of these, 73 have been
funded so far, generating $85.4 million
total dollars.
The Center's current personnel consist
of seven biostatistics faculty with
varying FTEs (10% to 50%) devoted to the
pre-award activity. Faculty members from
the Medical Center, as well as the rest
of the University, rely on the Center's
faculty for statistical help. In
addition, the Center employs several
part-time and full-time MS level
Biostatisticians. The Center has an MS
level Statistician Supriya Satwah MBA/MS
as the Center's Program Coordinator. The
Program Coordinator oversees and handles
the Center's financial matters including
day-to-day management of the Center's
activities. The Center has several
biostatistics graduate students, at
various levels of their training, who
assist in analyses, and other consulting
services.
The Center has many on-going projects.
There are several projects with the
Psychiatry & Nephrology departments, in
which we are providing biostatistical
analyses and database design and
management. The Center has also served
as a Data Coordinating Center for a
project in Complementary and Alternative
Medicine. The Center has on-going
projects with many departments as well
as some non-university clients. To help
with these projects, the Center has
access to state of the art software and
computers, biostatistical literature,
besides having a team of the finest and
dedicated biostatisticians.
