The centrally funded Statistics team within the Advanced Biomedical Computational Science group at the Frederick National Lab provides statistical consultation and data analysis support for NCI laboratories. We have broad-range expertise in biomedically relevant areas of applied and computational statistics, as well as related subjects. The team can help with both advanced and standard statistical analyses. These include data-sample comparisons (such as pairwise comparisons and ANOVA), linear or nonlinear regression, linear or nonlinear mixed-effects modeling, survival analysis, power and … [learn more]

The Science and Technology Research Infrastructure for Discovery, Experimentation, and Sustainability (STRIDES) Initiative The STRIDES Initiative aims to help NIH and its institutes, centers, and offices (ICOs) accelerate biomedical research by reducing barriers in utilizing commercial cloud services. This initiative aims to harness the power of the cloud to accelerate biomedical discovery. NIH and NIH-funded researchers can take advantage of STRIDES benefits. These key benefits include: Professional services—Access to professional service consultations and technical support from the S… [learn more]
