Biometry
Core
The
Biometry Core of the Center for Research to Evaluate and Eliminate
Dental Disparities provides support to the component research projects
of the CREEDD, including pilot projects, in the areas of study design,
data collection strategies, examiner training and calibration, data
management, and data analysis. We also work with the Center's Administrative
and Clinical & Community Liaison Cores to ensure that the results
of the Center's work are readily available to other investigators and
also to the general public, by developing an information dissemination
plan, including creating a web-enabled database for the cores and projects.
We also assist the Training & Career Development Core in its work
with students and trainees to ensure that they have the required training
in research methodology and data analysis to prepare them to become
independent investigators. In particular, a special effort is placed
on mentoring new investigators as they develop pilot project proposal
for support by the Center.
