Responsibilities
Participate in study design development. This will include working with the protocol lead statistician and clinicians on proposals in which analysis plans are described, sample size justifications are proposed, and results are presented in a clear and transparent manner for interpretation by the appropriate audience. This will include development of computer simulation programs to examine the design operating characteristics of the proposed designs
Report generation for clinical trials. On-going clinical trials require regular reports on data quality, safety and (in some cases) efficacy. The biostatistician will work closely with the study team on centralized risk-based data monitoring and create programs in SAS/R to generate tables and graphics that will assist the study team on evaluating the quality of the incoming data. Reports also will be generated for trial Data Safety and Monitoring Board (DSMB) meetings and at the time the study is finished accrual and data collection is complete
Analysis of data from clinical studies. This will include the interim and or final data analysis of datasets of varying sizes that result from the clinical trials coordinated by the DCU. Derived datasets will be created by the biostatistician, validation of analyses and programs will be conducted and reports that includes tables and figures, descriptions of methods used and interpretations of results will be included
Creation of public use datasets. As majority of the trials conducted by the DCU are NIH-funded, there is a requirement that the data be submitted to NIH for public use.
