Abstract:

This presentation will focus on statistical consultation that potentially impacts the scientific integrity of the research effort including sound statistical design, study implementation, analysis, and interpretation. However, the consulting statistician needs to foster and promote an environment that establishes the statistician as a true research scientist collaborator. To do this, the statistician must "sell" the researcher client on the "value" of having a statistician as an integral member of the research team. The Biostatistics Consulting Center (BCC) at Emory University provides consultative and collaborative support for Health Sciences Center investigators and will be described in detail. The BCC is a separate service center within the School of Public Health. Issues discussed include: (1) organizational structure and funding, (2) faculty involvement, (3) graduate student training, (4) research assistants, and (5) establishing a clientele.
