Biostatistics Shared Resource
The Biostatistics Shared Resource provides collaborative statistical support for investigators in Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center who are conducting basic, translational, clinical and epidemiological cancer research.
Statisticians in the Biostatistics Shared Resource are disease focused, providing a high level of specialized expertise for all Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center programs and Disease/Discipline Oriented Groups.
Teams within the Biostatistics Shared Resource offer expertise in:
- Cancer clinical trials, including associated translational research, interventional psychosocial research, and patient and public education research
- Population science, including studies involving genetic and molecular epidemiology
- Cancer quality of life, such as studies investigating the impact of clinical and psychosocial interventions on patients, families and caregivers
The Biostatistics Shared Resource is a cancer-focused extension of the Biostatistics Core, which is part of the Division of Clinical Trials and Biostatistics. The Biostatistics Core offers standard biostatistical services, such as protocol design, data collection, and data analysis and reporting.
Services
For Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center members, the Biostatistics Shared Resource provides:
- No-charge initial consultations on projects with Ph.D.- or master's-level biostatisticians who have particular expertise in the investigator's area of cancer research
- Funding for meritorious cancer research projects that are approved by Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center and would otherwise go unfunded
- Short-term funding to supplement unexpected gaps associated with a National Cancer Institute-funded award
Funding for subsequent biostatistical consultation on a project is expected to be included in principal investigators' budgets for external grants.
