The Biostatistics Center supports JHU faculty with primary appointments by providing up to 5 hours of free support per clinical and translational research project through the ICTR. Consultants can assist with: research study design, design of data collection systems and instruments, data entry and validation, data management and quality assurance, statistical analysis and data interpretation, and professional and scientific report-writing.
Beyond the 5 hours of free service, services are available on a fee-for-service basis. The goal of these consultations is to advise and educate the research by enabling him or her to both design and execute well-constructed studies and analyze the study data collected.
TIME FRAME: Please contact the Biostatistics Center as early as possible before your deadlines and with an awareness of the following guidelines:
- Abstracts: The Center generally needs at least one month. Ideally, we hope you will give us two months or more. If it is less than one month before the deadline, we may be able to assist with some simple summary statistics; however we cannot guarantee more complicated analyses, such as multiple variable analyses.
- Grants: The Center typically needs at least three weeks for new grant submissions and two weeks for a resubmission.
- Manuscript Review: The Center requires a minimum of two weeks for manuscript reviews.
Within two working days of receipt of a request, a consultant will contact you to arrange an initial meeting as soon as possible. To request a consultation with the Biostatistics Center through Connection Request, click here.
