The Department of Public Health Sciences Biostatistics Support Unit (BSU) offers collaborative and consulting services in study and experimental design, data analysis, grant preparation, and related areas. We currently provide services through the Clinical Translational Science Center, the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, the MIND Institute’s Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center, the Environmental Health Sciences Center, and directly through this service request link https://redcap.link/dx2xfjrv.

The unit includes Ph.D.-level and masters-level biostatisticians. Through our collective expertise and capabilities, we can successfully support a wide range of clinical and biological studies through application of common and advanced statistical approaches. We also collaborate with faculty from the Department of Public Health Sciences for projects that deploy integrated biostatistical and informatics expertise.
