UCSF CCMBM Core Services Newsletter - November 2022
Anne Schafer, MD
“Our monthly Bone Investigator Group, a work-in-progress group for clinical researchers in bone, has become a valued resource. It is conducted within the EBSD Core in very close partnership with the Imaging Core, and it provides opportunities for established researchers as well as trainees to get feedback on grant applications, manuscripts, and research collaborations.”
 
-- Anne Schafer, MD, Professor of Medicine and of Epidemiology & Biostatistics at UCSF and Chief of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the San Francisco VA Health Care System.
There are many opportunities for study design training and educational opportunities through the EBSD Core. Become a CCMBM member to access EBSD Core's NEW Training Modules!

Need to brush up on biostatistics basics? Looking for educational resources for trainees in your lab? Longing to feel more confident about sample size and power calculations for your grants? Wishing online resources would be directly relevant to your research?

The EBSD Core has created two short (approximately 15-minute long) educational videos expressly for musculoskeletal researchers:
 1. Choice of statistical tests for statistical analysis
 2. Power calculations and sample size analysis

Created and recorded by CCMBM member Dr. Janet Chiang, these videos use examples from musculoskeletal hypotheses and experiments just like yours! Check them out on the CCMBM Members Only site. 

Your Members Only login will be your email. Please contact Jane Thomas if you have difficulties accessing this site.
