Center for Complexity and Self-management of Chronic Disease (CSCD): Core 2: Methods and Analytics
The key activities and functions of the Methods and Analytics core include:
Complexity Methods: Leverage complexity to advance the science of self-management
for the promotion of health in chronic illness. Provide consultation and mentorship to
interdisciplinary teams around innovative methods for analyzing the effects of complex
interventions. Facilitate development of symposia focused on complex methodology.
Infrastructure: Expand the number and quality of research investigators successful
in funded programs of self-management research. Link novice investigators with resources to
facilitate development as independent researchers and to lead interdisciplinary teams.
Methods/Data Analytics: Develop a range of techniques and supporting documentation
for selecting appropriate methods to address complexity for self-management study designs,
data processing, and analytical protocols. Provide methodological and analytic expertise
and tools to collaborators and pilot project investigators. Develop the CSCD computational
infrastructure, including databases for managing and sharing (de-identified) data. Develop
efficient and reliable end-to-end computational workflow solutions for advanced data analytics.
Allocate and manage the CSCD shared resources
based on availability and demand according to the strategic priorities.
