Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Research Design (BERD)
The Biostatistics, Epidemiology, Research Design Core (BERD) was created to enhance clinical and translational research across the NJ ACTS community by providing professional, high quality study design, quantitative and qualitative (mixed methods) data analysis, survey research and data management services, development of innovative methodologies, as well as extensive group and individual training and instruction in biostatistics, epidemiology, and research design. These efforts, while supporting junior faculty and other investigators across the NJ ACTS and larger Rutgers and RWJ Barnabas Health community, were built with a particular focus on ensuring quality skills-based training opportunities for trainees.
