Introduction to Biostatistics for Clinical & Translational Research - Aug. 2
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)

Heartland Conference on Health Equity & Patient-Centered Care
With the recognition of the critical roles patient, community and team-informed science plays in health research, mechanisms to promote, facilitate and reward team and community engaged science are emerging. Diverse teams of collaborating scholars and meaningful inclusion of patients, providers, community members and other key stakeholders in decision-making is sorely needed to address research challenges and advance health improvement for all.
With this conference, we would like to explore the rich interplay of community and university together, with the thought that the strength of our community may determine meaningful research priorities and relevant programs and providers.
The Heartland Conference on Health Equity and Patient Centered Care highlights community - academic partnerships and encourages open discussion among academic health centers, community health workers, faith-based community, and community-based service organizations.
Participants will engage with other regional health researchers, community-based organizations, and public health professionals to address health equity in our communities and region.
