Data and Modeling Core
Whereas there are many examples of modeling and biostatistical analysis approaches for health outcomes based on sociodemographic, environmental, and individual health information in more urban areas, rural communities present unique challenges from a data analytics perspective. In particular, rural communities are more insular, more sparsely populated, have more limited environmental monitoring, and often have less access to health-related resources. The Data and Modeling (DM) Core addresses these challenges by providing investigators with the data acquisition and management, biostatistics and modeling, and high-performance computing (HPC) support they need to successfully conduct population health research in rural communities. Recent examples of these services are shown here. To inquire further about how the DM Core can support your research, please complete the Data and Modeling Request Form below.
