Statistics Support Services
Comprehensive Cancer Center - Biostatistics Shared Resource
The BSR helps researchers apply state-of-the-art statistical methodologies to their data analysis. Our services support basic science, translational, clinical and population research efforts. Our mission is to help transform cancer prevention and treatment strategies throughout our community. The BSR includes a master’s-level statistician and three faculty members funded by the cancer center’s NCI support grant. We help investigators through every step of their project — from design and analysis planning through writing and review.
We offer statistical expertise in:
- Biomarker research
- Clinical trials
- Longitudinal studies
- Missing data
- Survival analysis
Clinical and Translational Science Center - Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design Program
The Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design program strengthens research plans through study design, analysis, and consultation. Expertise is available to assist in the development of protocols, statistical plans, data safety monitoring plans, data analysis, and contribute to the statistical sections of grant applications, abstracts, and manuscripts.
The program supports clinical and translational research through training, collaboration, service, and discovery in biostatistics, research design, and epidemiology, and a strong outreach and partnering function to support interdisciplinary approaches to clinical and translational research.
DataLab
The DataLab offers no-fee research consultations and office hours during which university members can obtain help and advice on theoretical and technical matters relating to data science and working with data and includes:
- Developing research questions and grant proposals
- Using Data Science tools and technologies (including open source software for research computing)
- Obtaining and accessing data (e.g., from Web pages, APIs, databases)
- Structuring data for analysis (e.g., relational databases, NoSQL, text search engines, Hive, Pig)
- Data management, curation, security and privacy
- And more
Department of Public Health Sciences - Biostatistics Support Unit
The Department of Public Health Sciences Biostatistics Support Unit (BSU) offers collaborative and consulting services in study and experimental design, data analysis, grant preparation, and related areas. We currently provide services through the Clinical Translational Science Center, the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, the MIND Institute’s Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center, the Environmental Health Sciences Center, and directly through this service request link https://redcap.link/dx2xfjrv.
Department of Statistics - Stat Lab
Services include providing advice to researchers in preparing statistics-related sections of proposals for extramural funding, assisting researchers on the design of prospective experiments or studies, conducting or giving advice concerning statistical data analysis, and planning or executing statistically motivated computation. Appointments: Please visit our calendar to schedule an appointment.
Environmental Health Sciences Center - Integrative Health Sciences Facility Core
The hub of disease and biomarker research, the Integrative Health Sciences Facility Core (IHSFC) is a liaison to animal laboratories, human clinical studies, tissue biorepositories and statistical support that connects EHSC researchers' work with CEC and community partners.
The IHSFC provides researchers with access to experts and resources in multiple colleges, schools and centers, including:
- Biostatistics: Two biostatisticians are dedicated to environmental health and omics research, providing essential services to interdisciplinary teams, such as helping with experimental study design, reframing the scientific question into a testable hypothesis, and identifying the best analyses. The biostatistics subcore also helps interpret results in the context of the problem and grant writing, including statistical plans and sample size calculations. This approach helps weave together the strengths of each discipline to increase the quality of environmental health research and strengthen the inference from experiments, observational, and community-based studies. To schedule a consultation, please contact Dr. Kyoungmi Kim (kmkim@ucdavis.edu) to schedule an appointment.
MIND Institute - Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, & Research Design Core
The UC Davis MIND Institute IDDRC Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, and Research Design (BBRD) Core provides comprehensive statistical support to IDDRC investigators for projects at all stages of the research process. With extensive experience on a broad range of intellectual and developmental disabilities related clinical, population, and basic science studies, BBRD faculty and staff form a key resource for MIND Institute and UC Davis researchers studying intellectual and developmental disabilities assisting with study design, protocol and proposal development, data analysis, publication of results as well as guiding development of research-related data management systems.
The Core provides the following services:
- Grant proposal preparation
- Statistical data analysis and publication
- Support IRB applications and DSMB reports
- Data Collection and Database Design
- Education and Training
UC Davis Library - Data Management Plans and Consultations
A Data Management Plan (DMP) outlines how data will be collected, organized, stored, secured, shared, and preserved in a research project. It covers data collection methods, organization, storage, sharing, preservation, ethics, and researcher responsibilities. DMPs promote transparency and maximize research impact by ensuring your data can be used effectively, by you, your collaborators, and future generations of researchers. They can be a powerful tool for thinking in advance about collaborative research workflows and can help forecast financial costs associated with data so they can be written into budgets and funded. Email dataservices@ucdavis.edu to schedule a consultation related to the organization, storage, preservation, and sharing of data as well as support with using the DMPTool.
