The Research Design, Compliance, and Data Management (RDCD) Core envisions itself as an unwavering beacon, dedicated to supporting LCTRC investigators with timely and robust statistical assistance on experimental design and data analysis, access to Electronic Health Records (EHR) databases to conduct C&T research, facilitating clinical trials and creating research databases, and providing guidance and resources on risk management, federal regulatory, and reporting compliance on human subjects’ research.
Services & Rates
- Aim 1: Provide state-of-the-art statistical support in design, analysis, and dissemination of findings across a spectrum of basic science, translational, clinical, and population health studies.
- Aim 2: Facilitate and provide guidance on the use of EHR and other large clinical datasets to ensure compliance with NIH and institutional data management policies to safeguard protected health information.
- Aim 3: Provide guidance, resources, and training to enhance the competency of LCTRC researchers in conducting human subjects research.
At present, there are no fees associated with this service. However, a fee-based model may be considered for future operations.
All research investigators at the UofL have access to the RDCD Core. Before being added to the queue, biostatistics support requests are carefully reviewed to ensure efficient prioritization and resource allocation.
