Biostats, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) Clinic

 

Social Distancing Update

In the interest of social distancing, all meetings will be held virtually until further notice. 

Easily-Accessible Consultations

With advance registration, UTHSC faculty and residents can meet with specialists for biostatistics, epidemiology, and research design consultations. These consultations are limited in scope and intended to help researchers understand the underlying statistical aspects of their research design so they can adequately plan projects (e.g. study design, analytic approaches, simple power analyses, see below). For investigators looking for a collaborator, or consulting services, an initial meeting through the BERD Clinic is required to connect you to those services.

See an example BERD Clinic project workflow and review common questions for first time meetings.
