Scholarly Interest

"Our group and others have developed educational resources for patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR), other causal inference methods, and other general educational resources in statistics, biomarkers, and epidemiology. Some of these efforts, and other training and collaborative activities are also highlighted under the Expanding National Capacity in PCOR through Training & Collaboration Network (ENACT Network) page. In addition, we have lead roles in various coordinator center efforts, including the Consortium for Radiological Imaging Studies in PKD (CRISP) study and other efforts in conjunction with the Society of Critical Care Medicine."
