Data Management and Statistics Core

As part of the department’s research infrastructure, the Data Management and Statistical Core (DMSC) aims to provide the department with high quality study design, data acquisition, data management, and statistical expertise for faculty, fellow, and resident research projects. We’re here to provide consultation and extra hands, whether it’s a one-time consultation or ongoing support for the life of the study. We can help with the data and statistical needs of clinical research project, population health studies, surveys, quality improvement projects, resident research projects, medical education studies, and others. We work primarily with quantitative data, but do have some experience with qualitative study design and analysis, including focus groups and in-depth interviews.
