Abstract:

Collaboration and consulting at academic medical centers takes many forms, from drop-in sessions with limited engagement to long-term partnerships in research. Our personal experiences suggest deeper engagement and mutual respect with clinical and translational science investigators lead to both improved research quality as well as higher job satisfaction among biostatisticians. Here, we describe and evaluate the relationships of collaborative biostatisticians engaged in clinical and translational research. Specifically, we hypothesize that engaged collaborations are associated with reduced burnout, increased intellectual freedom, and perceived value. A survey of collaborative biostatisticians at academic health centers, including MS and PhD level, both faculty and non-faculty tracks, is proposed to directly measure and assess these hypotheses.
