ABSTRACT Given the increasing level and scope of biostatistics expertise needed at academic health centers today, we developed best practices guidelines for biostatistics units to be more effective in providing biostatistical support to their institutions, and in fostering an environment in which unit members can thrive professionally. Our recommendations focus on the key areas of: (1) funding sources and mechanisms; (2) providing and prioritizing access to biostatistical resources; and (3) interacting with investigators. We recommend that the leadership of biostatistics units negotiate for sufficient long-term infrastructure support to ensure stability and continuity of funding for personnel, align project budgets closely with actual level of biostatistical effort, devise and consistently apply strategies for prioritizing and tracking effort on studies, and clearly stipulate with investigators prior to project initiation policies regarding funding, lead time, and authorship.

学术健康中心生物统计咨询和合作的最佳实践

摘要鉴于当今学术健康中心所需的生物统计专业知识水平和范围不断增加，我们为生物统计单位制定了最佳实践指南，以便更有效地为其机构提供生物统计支持，并营造一个单位成员能够在专业上茁壮成长的环境。我们的建议侧重于以下关键领域：(1) 资金来源和机制；(2) 提供和优先使用生物统计资源；(3) 与调查员互动。我们建议生物统计单位的领导层就足够的长期基础设施支持进行谈判，以确保人员资金的稳定性和连续性，使项目预算与生物统计工作的实际水平紧密结合，
