The Division of Biostatistics in the Department of Epidemiology & Preventive
Medicine supports basic and clinical research and conducts
research on biostatistical methodology. We provide support to investigators
throughout the School of Medicine, and other campus units.
General guidelines for working with faculty from the Division of
Biostatistics are as follows:
1. Contact
us at least 60 days prior to the submission date for your proposal.
This will give us adequate time to review your study aims, provide
feedback, and assist in the preparation of the analytic plan
for your project. We will also work with you to determine the level
of biostatistical services you will need, whether as part of a modular
budget or as a percentage of time from a biostatistician and/or programmer.
If you will need a named biostatistician collaborator, we will help
to identify a specific individual with appropriate background.
2. We will provide
you with a budget and budget justification for biostatistical services,
up-to-date biosketches and other support information, as well as information
on the resources available through the Division to support your project.
3. Changes
to percentages of effort or budgets affecting the Division of Biostatistics
should only be made after consulting with us in advance.
4. Members
of the Division may only be included in your proposal after first consulting
with us. All of our faculty statisticians are consistently at or close
to allowable maximum effort commitments. We cannot guarantee availability
unless we are aware of all potential commitments.
5. A complete copy
of your final grant proposal must be provided to us at the time it
is submitted.
6. Notify us as soon as possible
whether your project is or is not selected for funding. Please
forward to the division office a copy of the grant award page, along
with the final approved budget as soon as you receive notification. If you intend
to resubmit an unfunded project, please let us know. We will provide
you with updated information to include in your new submission.
7. When your grant
is awarded, no changes to the previously agreed effort or contributions
from the Division of Biostatistics should be made without first consulting
with the division chief.
