The Biostatistics Core provides support to investigators in the design and analysis of research studies. This includes assistance with statistical considerations for grant proposals and study protocols and services such as data analysis, database support, data and safety monitoring for clinical trials, statistical programming, and manuscript preparation. The Biostatistics Core is embedded within the MGH Biostatistics group with staff including biostatisticians, statistical programmers, database developers, and project managers.
The goal of the core is to serve the computing needs of the epidemiology community of the Channing Laboratory and beyond. In that vein, the Core provides fast access to our server for data management and analysis and storage for large data sets especially for whole genome genetic studies.
The EMNet HSR Core provides researchers with access to emergency department (ED)-related HSR data, data analysis expertise, and ED survey capabilities to facilitate research on access to emergency care, quality of emergency care, and patient outcomes.
The core provides breeding and husbandry of gnotobiotic mice and assists investigators with analyses regarding effects of metabolic, immunologic and other physiologic effects following host colonization commensal and/or pathogenic microbes. The core also provides consults on microbiome and bioinformatics.
The core provides information management and analysis needs of the MGH/Partners/Harvard research community as well as non-profit organizations and industry.
Center for Integrated Healthcare Data Research
The Integrated Analytics core has been established by the division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics to allocate computer programmer effort and closely related costs to federal and non-federal projects. The division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics specializes in analyzing massive data sets related to prescription data use.
