Learn more about the expertise and resources offered to support UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers
from Dr. Laurel Beckett, former director of the Biostatistics Shared Resource and Distinguished Professor Emerita.
The Biostatistics Shared Resource, or BSR, is a core group of the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center which provides biostatistical support for the clinical, population, and basic science research efforts.
The purpose of the BSR is to provide comprehensive cancer center investigators with design support for conceptualizing and planning new studies and with analytic support for pilot projects and other internally funded research at the comprehensive cancer center.
Statistical services of the BSR for research design, planning, and analysis are offered to members of the comprehensive cancer center, subject to availability and adequate advance notice. The BSR provides pre-award biostatistics services without charge to directly support development of grant proposals that, if awarded, will include biostatistics funding for project-specific support. This support includes analysis of pilot data, calculation of sample sizes and power, and other small projects that are prerequisites for the development of grant proposals. Up to 10 hours of support per project is provided for other biostatistics assistance on unfunded projects. Priorities for without-charge support are determined in consultation with the Cancer Center Support Grant leadership at weekly Senior Executive Committee meetings.
