Siteman Biostatistics Shared Resource
The Siteman Cancer Center (SCC) Biostatistics and Qualitative Research Shared Resource (BQSR) fulfills a critical function by providing methodologic and analytic support for the development and conduct of scientifically sound, innovative cancer research at SCC. Advances in biotechnologies and computing systems/software increasingly require specialized expertise and tools for sophisticated statistical methodologies. Qualitative research requires sound methods and approaches that support rigor and best practice. The overarching goal of the BQSR is to provide a comprehensive, centralized, and accessible biostatistics and qualitative support infrastructure for all phases of cancer research; from study development and design to data collection, ongoing monitoring, and final analysis.
