Overview
The Biostatistics Core seeks to empower our institutions' scientists with the quantitative support and expertise needed to create and translate into clinical practice the next generations of research on frailty.

The Core aims to achieve this goal through the provision of first-rate statistical reasoning and database resources to OAIC-affiliated research projects, the development and support of new methodologies that are essential to studying the etiology, natural history and outcomes of frailty, and the mentoring of promising junior investigators in quantitative methods.
