Abstract:
|
The recent formation of a new national consortium, funded through Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs) is transforming how clinical and translational research is conducted. This has led to a variety of challenges and opportunities for biostatistics training with the integration of these CTSA centers within the University setting. Several examples will be discussed to highlight how training can keep pace with this dynamic new environment to ensure biostatistics is part of the "translational life cycle."
