The mission of the Biostatistics Shared Resource (BSR) is to promote excellence in cancer research at UW Carbone Cancer Center (UWCCC) by providing outstanding biostatistical support and collaboration to UWCCC members.

The Biostatistics Shared Resource offers UWCCC members statistical support in the design, conduct and analysis of research studies in basic, clinical and population-based sciences.

Biostatistics Consulting Drop-in Clinic

Biostatistics offers a drop-in clinic for UWCCC members.

Statistical consultation is especially valuable during the planning stage of a research study or a proposal for extramural funding.  The early and continuing participation of a biostatistician always improves a grant proposal and the ensuing research.  Interim analyses are valuable elements of progress reports, and aid investigators in adjusting the course of their research.  The collaboration of biostatisticians in the final analyses, resulting in abstracts for presentation and publications, greatly strengthens the credibility of the study findings to the cancer research community.
