Grant Title: URBAN ARCH (2/5) Biostatistics and Data Management (BDM) Core

The Biostatistics and Data Management (BDM) Core provides statistical and data management leadership in all phases of research thereby increasing the efficiency and productivity of Consortium investigators and ultimately ensuring the scientific integrity of results from the URBAN ARCH Consortium studies. There are two principal objectives of the BDM Core: to provide active statistical collaboration in the design and analysis of each individual study; and to develop and maintain an integrated, centralized data management system that may be used by all studies within the URBAN ARCH Consortium.
