The KUMC Department of Biostatistics & Data Science, with support from the University of Kansas Cancer Center and Frontiers, offers this free four-day program in biostatistical methods for clinical and translational researchers.

Biostatistics plays a critical role in clinical and translational research, influencing everything from study design to results interpretation. Clinicians and scientists should have a basic understanding of biostatistics to support critical appraisal of research, collaboration, communication, and evidence-based practice. Biostatistical skills can empower researchers to participate more actively in shaping study design and analysis to ensure clinically relevant and feasible research questions, reduce the risk of bias, and improve research efficiency.

Topics include:

Scientific Rigor and Reproducibility
Hierarchy of Study Design and Scientific Evidence
Hypothesis Testing and Estimation
Common Statistical Methods (Student’s t, Chi-square, ANOVA, Linear regression, Logistic regression, Survival analysis)

Jan 21 11:00 AM • Virtual Reproducibility Rounds: 193 Preclinical Cancer Biology Experiments: Lessons, Surprises, and Future Directions The Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology was a large-scale systematic investigation into the replicability of high-impact, preclinical cancer biology experiments. Overall, there were challenges at every stage of the research process from design to conducting the replications. Jan 29 08:30 AM • In person Implementation Science Meetup Reach out to Maggie Padek Kalman for more information. Jan 29 12:00 PM • Virtual 2025 Training in Implementation: Actionable Research Approaches Translating evidence into practice is a complex process that often spans several years or decades. Recognizing the need to urgently act in the quickly evolving healthcare landscape, TIARA provides physicians, nurses, pharmacists, students/trainees, researchers, and other healthcare professionals with the implementation science and quality improvement knowledge needed to prioritize more rapid adoption of evidence-based practices. Feb 12 12:00 PM • Virtual Kansas Center for Rural Health: Empowering Rural Kansas - Adressing Training & Workforce Needs in Medical Laboratories We're excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar, where we'll share insights from a recent survey on the laboratory workforce in Kansas's critical access hospitals. Our study explores workforce makeup, capacity, vacancies, and challenges like blood banking limitations due to staffing shortages and distance from processing facilities. Join Dr. Moser and Alexandra Corns, KUMC medical student, as they discuss the findings, recommendations, and gather feedback to help strengthen lab services in rural Kansas. Mar 04 08:00 AM • K-State University, Olathe campus 2025 Frontiers CTSI Research Symposium The theme for the 2025 Research Symposium is "Translating Science into the Community." More details to come but the day will start with Speed Mentoring and end with a poster session and reception. Sep 26 09:00 AM • Westin Crown Center, Kansas City, Mo. 2025 International LAM Research Conference & LAMposium The International LAM Research Conference & LAMposium is The LAM Foundation’s marquee event, which includes a state-of-the-art scientific meeting and a dedicated patient and family conference. Next year’s event will continue the highly successful format of blending patient and family participation with leading-edge discussions about basic and translational advances in LAM research. We look forward to welcoming attendees from around the world to this important conference that will celebrate the LAM community's research innovation, courage, and resilience as we strive to find better treatments and ultimately a cure for LAM.
