The principal mission of the Methods Core is to provide HIPRC faculty, staff, and trainees with assistance and training in the conduct of high-quality research using rigorous methodologies.
Core Components
Data Collection provides assistance with the design and implementation of data capture strategies.
Data Management provides assistance with the transformation of raw collected information into a suitable form, works with existing public or private databases to create convenient datasets in preparation for the analysis and oversees the access and maintenance of all primary and secondary data at HIPRC.
Data Analysis provides assistance with statistical analysis.
Education Once every 6 weeks, investigators who face challenging methodologic or analytic problems arising in a specific project present their work and receive feedback during the Journal Club held on Fridays.
