Abstract:
|
To implement reproducible research in an academic environment one faces several unique challenges. For example, the size of the projects vary from the analysis of data from a pilot study to the data collection, monitoring, and analysis of an R01 clinical trial. Given that we work closely with the Department of Biostatistics we have several graduate students at any one time who do may do a large portion of the analysis which results in a high degree of turn-over. We also like to provide our faculty a degree of academic freedom, perhaps less present in other areas of medical research, which introduces additional challenges.
In this talk we give a brief overview of the Data Center: discuss personnel, computational resources, collaborators. Then we further discuss the challenges unique of the implementation of reproducible research systems in an academic environment. We then provide specific examples of the use of reproducible research tools.
