Biostatistics Navigator

Biostatistics play a vital role in health research by providing expertise in study design, data analysis and interpretation. It applies statistical methods to medical and public health data to generate evidence-based insights, guide policy and improve human health. The biostatistics process informs study design by analyzing complex datasets, like genomic sequences and electronic health records, and ensures rigorous, transparent and impactful research. It forms the foundation for discoveries in medicine, public health and environmental sciences.

The CTSI has a Biostatistics Navigator to help investigators navigate how biostatistics can help advance their research.

While navigator hours are designed for guidance and support, in-depth project services, such as REDCap database development, statistical testing and model creation, are provided through a formal Biostatistics request. These services are available for an additional fee. 

During your biostatistics navigator session, the navigator will guide you through the process and help you determine the appropriate resources for your project.

Who can use this service?

Any Ohio State or Nationwide Children's Hospital faculty or staff member.

What is the cost to use this service?

The Biostatistics Navigator service is available to CTSI members at no charge for the general consultation (up to 1 hour per project), however some projects or requests will need to provide a funding source if needs are beyond the scope of navigator hours or exceed the 1 hour per project.

Are there virtual hours?

Virtual Hours may be requested based on the biostatistician's availability. Please enter virtual requests in the registration form.
