Obesity raises the risk of several cancers. Community-based studies aimed at preventing these cancers need careful study design and sound statistics to give trustworthy answers.
- Fields
Mathematics & Statistics
Public Health & Epidemiology
- Topics
biostatistics
statistical methodology
geospatial analysis
- Grants
- 1 known grant, through Apr 2028
What they work on
- Provide study design, hypothesis refinement and statistical planning for the Center's clinical and laboratory projects on risk factors for obesity-related cancer.
- Develop and apply new statistical methods, including biostatistical and geospatial (location-based) analyses, to data generated across the Center's projects and pilot studies.
- Standardize design, context and outcome measures across projects, and archive datasets and analysis scripts so that results are reproducible.
More about the research
This grant supports the Research and Methods Core of the Center for Transformative Community-driven Research to Prevent Obesity-related Cancer. The Core is a shared statistics and study-design resource for the Center's projects, pilot studies and trainees.
Why it matters
Consistent study designs, strong statistical methods and reproducible analyses could make the Center's community-driven studies of obesity-related cancer risk factors more reliable. More trustworthy evidence could better guide efforts to prevent cancers linked to obesity in the communities the Center serves.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
