Center Policy

At CCR, we strive to provide biostatistical collaboration and support

that are increasingly critical to the competitiveness and success of

clinical and basic research at USF. In line with the standard practice

in major research institutions, the following policy will guide the research

collaboration and support the CCR provides. While the policy applies

to both funded and unfunded research, the investigator is welcome to

work with the CCR if any special arrangement is necessary.

Grant Proposals. Grant proposals developed with collaboration and

support from CCR usually shall include a biostatistician as a co-investigator;

Publications. The biostatistician who developed the data analysis plan

and conducted the analysis shall be a co-author of any publications or

presentation that resulted from such collaboration;

Fee. Collaboration and support provided by the CCR is fee based;

Payment covers the cost of the center's operation and does not substitute

for co-authorship or other status of collaboration;

With partial funding from the USF Health Science Center, CCR aims

to become a resource center with future funding primarily generated from

collaborative research grants and fees covering supportive activity.

Self- generated funding is necessary to cover faculty/staff salary,

student support, and operation expenditure. CCR's primary mission

is to promote research that will lead to publications and grant proposals.

CCR also supports other activities when resources are available.

The following is the rate of charge approved by the university as of October 1, 2005:

A retainer of $1000 or 10% of the total contract, which ever is less, may apply to non-USF clients.
