Goals of the Core

The core also provides expertise on experimental design and analysis to ADRC cores, pilot projects, and other aging and Alzheimer's disease research initiatives. Activities that support this objective include:

Consultation

Consulting with investigators on all projects, grant submissions, presentations, and manuscripts

Pilot Project Review

Reviewing all ADRC pilot projects for statistical content

Collaboration

Collaborating with other ADRCs on special projects of mutual interest

Data Analysis

Incorporating advances in statistical methodology to interpret and analyze data collected

One of the primary objectives of this core is to maintain a centralized database of all information collected by the ADRC cores, pilot projects, and Alzheimer's disease and aging research studies. Activities that support this objective include:

  • Ensuring confidentiality and security of data
  • Developing data collection forms and entering data
  • Providing monthly summaries to the ADRC Executive Committee
  • Creating appropriate subsets of data for approved projects and investigators
  • Reporting accurate and complete datasets to the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center
