Administration, Data Management, Statistics, and Bioinformatics

Project Leader: Diane F. Birt

 

Co-Investigators: Wendy Maury (UI), Philip Dixon, Eve Wurtele

 

Core Objectives
This core supplies overall planning and administration, supports effective data management, and supplies bioinformatics and statistical services to the other Center Cores and Projects. Since complex data sets are being collected, bioinformatics have been added to the renewal of former Core B. New bioinformatics functions will be developed in order to analyze complex biological relationships, and these new functions will be incorporated into present bioinformatics tools. Mainly being provided with this Core is:

• Leadership structure,
• Coordination of research, and
• Facilitation of communication throughout the center.

 

Also within Core C are the roles of convening the External Advisory Committee as well as coordinating the interdigitations of research in the projects and cores through the Internal Steering Committee. Cores A and B as well as Projects 1-3 are provided with comprehensive data management and statistical analysis services, overseeing of experimental design, and support and administration of pilot research projects.
