The Biostatistics Consulting and Collaboration Center (BC3) is the Cancer Consortium’s gateway to finding biostatistics and data science support.  Our primary mission is to provide short-term statistical consultation and serve as a conduit to development of long-term collaborations.  Faculty supporting the BC3 include experts at the forefronts of their fields with their own independent research programs, ensuring that they have the appropriate tailored expertise to help advance your research.

Plan Ahead for Abstract Deadlines

To ensure quality support for your abstracts, please notify the Clinical Biostatistics Team early in your planning process. This allows time for collaboration and thorough review.

Policy: Finalized data must be provided at least four weeks before your abstract deadline. Failure to do so means we cannot guarantee completing analyses in time.

Guidelines

  • Notify us via BC3 Request Form of your intent to submit at least two months before the deadline and schedule a planning meeting. 

  • Provide finalized data about one month before the deadline for analysis.
