UAMS Pediatrics

The Biostatistics Program can assist in the development, planning and execution of both pre-clinical and clinical research studies. We provide statistical assistance with intramural grant applications such as with the CUMG, ABI, and CTSA Pilot Award grant programs. Also, we assist with extramural grants applications through agencies such as NIH (e.g. R01, R21, etc.) and CDC.


The program has faculty and staff with areas of statistical expertise that include the following:

• longitudinal data analysis
• time-to-event / survival analysis
  
• generalized linear modeling with special emphasis that includes:
  
  • developing clinical prediction models
    
  • analyzing extremely skewed outcomes
    
• genomics and pharmacogenetic studies
  
• long-term, "real world" observational studies performed in a clinical setting
  
• imputation strategies to analyze data with missing observations
  
• Bayesian hierarchical modeling
  

The Biostatistics Program also provides research method and biostatistics education through the "Basic Biostatistics Box (3B's) Lunch" program, seminars and short courses.
