The Statistical Consultation and Research Center (SCRC) is an Organized Research Unit at the University of Southern California. It integrates statistical, epidemiological and computing resources and offers them to professionals conducting clinical and biomedical research. The SCRC consists of a team of statisticians, epidemiologists, programmers, project coordinators and data managers that provides an optimal structure to assist both the public and private sectors in carrying out clinical and prevention trials, observational and retrospective studies, and cross-sectional and longitudinal surveys. Members of the SCRC are co-investigators on a range of studies in atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, neuroscience, ophthalmology and alternative medicine.
The SCRC consolidates professionals in the areas of study coordination, medical database development and management, and biostatistics and epidemiology into a unified center with the purpose of efficiently and effectively coordinating both single and multicentered clinical research. Research (typically clinical trials or natural history studies) is funded either by the National Institutes of Health, other governmental agencies, or organizations in the private sector (e.g., pharmaceutical companies).
For each of the studies listed below, SCRC investigators and staff participated in the study design, study conduct and coordination, data management and monitoring, data reporting, statistical analysis and the preparation of manuscripts.
The SCRC provides consultation services to biomedical researchers on issues related to design, database management and statistical analysis. Faculty and staff members of the SCRC actively consult with researchers at the USC Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, and Social Work, as well as researchers at Barlow Hospital, City of Hope National Cancer Center, St. Barnabas Hospital, Los Angeles Children's Hospital and the Shiley Eye Institute at the University of California, San Diego. Consultation is also provided to researchers in the private sector Clients include Alcon, Cell-Sci Inc., Guidant Corp., Janssen Pharmaceutical, Nutro Products and Richard-James Development Corp. For further information, contact the lead Biostatistical Consultant: Terri Kang, M.S. at tkang@usc.edu
In many situations, biostatistical methodology has been developed because of the unique characteristics of the designs and/or data arising from a medical research project. The Statistical Consultation and Research Center (SCRC) provides opportunities for faculty and graduate students to develop independent research that expands biostatistical knowledge.
