  1. BERD Key Function Committee BERD Tools – “Statistical Collaboration Tools” Breakout Importance, feasibility and potential to be transformative: • Tools are Important, Feasible & Potentially HighlyTransformative Recommendation(s): • Form Subgroups of Online Resources Task Force for important sub-areas of tools development • Appoint Leaders for subgroups • See “short-term & long-term” goals for specific recommendations • Devote resources to tool development for impact

  2. BERD Key Function Committee BERD Tools – “Statistical Collaboration Tools” Breakout Short (1-2 Y) & long-term (5+ Y) objectives: • Develop tools to help collaboration • Tools for investigators • develop questions, thinking, data prior to 1st meeting • Vignettes for good collaborations • Tools for statisticians: repository, analytics, clinics, etc. • Develop & share content for general distribution • Good Statistical Practice (Analytics & Operations) • Free Clinic Organization and Experiences • Models for training students • Mechanisms to get inserted earlier in the process • Advertisement of where the tools & contents are housed, & updates • (opt-in broadcast email for CTSA BERD list) Stat Consensus CTR Sharing

  3. BERD Key Function Committee BERD Tools – “Statistical Collaboration Tools” Breakout Some Specific TOOLS: • Reproducible Research Tools & Methods • Teaching tools for younger investigators/statisticians • Clinics as a Tool • Content on Practices for operating a clinic • Online Clinics (FAQ ---- Real-Time online clinics) • Tracking Tools • respecting heterogeneity in institutions • Tools for Advertising

  4. BERD Key Function Committee BERD Tools – “Statistical Collaboration Tools” Breakout Relationship to CTSA strategic goals (1 and 2) or subgoals: Enhancing national clinical and translational research capability Clinical research management Research infrastructure Phenotyping Enhancing the training and career development of clinical and translational scientists

  5. BERD Key Function Committee BERD Tools – “Statistical Collaboration Tools” Breakout Relationship to CTSA strategic goals (3 and 4) or subgoals: Enhancing consortium-wide collaborations National resource inventory Data sharing Social networking Enhancing the health of our communities and the nation National model for community engagement Public health policy Increasing Connectivity towards how we work More Transparant Evidence Based Public Health

  6. Other Items • Develop Good Statistical Practice Materials • Principles versus procedures (Ex: Missing) • How to write a Statistical Analysis Plan • ASA code of ethics • Examples of BAD practice (analogue to “how to make a bad plot”) • Review papers on practical (i.e. old int’l stat review articles – mult comp.) • Need tools to train investigators on how to ask good questions • Must invest in the psychoanalytic process with the an investigator • Accessible Webpage of Good practices • Develop consensus among Statisticians • Translate those to Clinical Audience

  7. More Other Items • Efficiency • Good Statistical Practice • Closest thing we get are FDA guidelines • (out of date when they come out) • Non-Data dredging (ASA code of ethics) • Collaborating Remotely • RR • Simulation tools • Possible Software Reviews • How we work together

  8. Even More Other Items • Efficiency: • “Extreme” Collaboration: • Reproducible Research • “2-3 hours locked away in the room together” • Don’t use emails • Resources to help produce tools • Resources to help data cleaning before we have to do it. Redcap

  9. BERD Key Function Committee BERD Tools – “Statistical Collaboration Tools” Breakout Members willing to actively collaborate or take a lead role: Subgroups within the Online Resources Task Force Frank Harrell (Vandy) Mike Griswold (representing Hopkins) M Hossein Rahbar (UTHouston) Ron Thisted (Chicago) Nancy Hills (representing UCSF)
