Study Design and Statistical Methodology Research Core
Goals & Objectives
  • To conduct statistical research on epidemiologic study designs for investigating the human health effects of environmental exposures and on host factors (genetic, nutritional, socioeconomic, etc) which modify or confound the response to environmental agents;
  • To develop advanced methods of analysis suitable for studying such relationships;
  • To collaborate with other members of the Center to identify emerging methodologic problems related to new and on-going research projects and to assist in the application of new methods to the design and analysis of such projects;
  • To train graduate students and investigators in modern statistical methods relevant to environmental health.
