CTSA Cores
Biostatistics, Informatics, and Research Design (BIRD) Core
The BIRD Core provides a central location to access support and consulting services related to human health data science, informatics, and clinical and translational research design.
Our vision is to equip clinical and translational researchers with new capabilities to answer questions that cannot be answered today.
Community Stakeholder Engagement Core
The Community Stakeholder Engagement Core created educational programs based on what the community needs.
These programs aim to strengthen the community's role in research, share important resources, and provide helpful health information.
