Those analyzing the data are often different from those who collect and generate the data, and different from those interpreting the data. This can lead to gaps in the team’s knowledge around key data processing or analysis decisions. Transparent, robust documentation is also a key step to uncovering errors. This talk will describe implications of these challenges as well as some generalizable, practical solutions developed within two CTSA Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) units. Nov 21 12:00 PM • Virtual Research and Discovery Grand Rounds: Translational Science versus Translational Research: What is the Difference? Speakers: Lisa Sanderson Cox, PhD, Nihar Nayak, DVM, PhD, Robin Liston, MPH Join call here.
