The Biostatistics Core provides consultation and collaboration on quantitative methods to all SPORE investigators, projects and cores.  This service extends to career developement, developmental projects and SPORE supplement projects.

1. To provide "open door" (more likely "open phone" or "open email") short term statistical consultation to the entire group of SPORE investigators.
2. To provide biostatistical expertise for the planning, conduct, analysis, and reporting of laboratory, animal, clinical, and epidemiological studies for SPORE projects.
3. To provide consultation on computer databases, statistical computer packages, publicly available statistical programs and moving data between computers and between databases, as well as to provide statistical collaboration in developing statistical programs for specialized problems.
4. To facilitiate sharing of information between SPORE projects and developmental projects on variability of and statistical distributions of various measures, such as new assays, methods of tumor burden measurements in animal studies, and short and long term changes in markers in human studies in order to permit studies in order to permit study designs to be informed by several data sets (rather than just the pilot studies done in that project).

Core Usage:

The Core has collaborated with investigators from every project of the Breast SPORE and with many of the investigators involved with past SPORE protocols, current and past SPORE developmental awardees, and AVON-supported protocols.
