摘要

Strong research design and biostatistical support play a critical role in the long-term success of clinical and translational research and education enterprises.1 Current research studies involve complex study design and generate complicated multivariate data which require statistical expertise. In addition, extramural funding has become increasingly competitive. Funding agencies and study sessions are focusing more on whether the research design of a proposal is efficient and whether the data analysis plan is statistically appropriate. Understanding and applying statistical research design and analysis principles can benefit biomedical researchers in expanding their research effectiveness and efficiency.2
