Title: Pre- and Post-award Role of Statisticians in NIH Grants - CANCELLED

Abstract:

Statisticians play crucial pre- and post-award roles in the evaluation, development, and implementation of research from the National Institutes of Health. Most NIH research is funded through the extramural program, sponsoring scientists working at universities, or private research laboratories. The pre-award roles for statisticians include reviewer, developer, writer, and adviser. Statisticians with medical and behavioral research experience are needed to evaluate proposals, as members of the NIH review study sections, as well as on scientific teams writing and developing the data analysis sections of proposals. Applications for NIH funding must describe the research design, with power analysis to justify the sample size, and the procedures to be used, including data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Once the grant is funded, the statistician should implement the analytical procedures described in the research design, manage data collection, cleaning, and entering. After analysis, the statistician should be coauthor of articles and presentations. From consultant to co-investigator, the role of the statistician will vary according to the level of complexity of the study.
