Ensuring the highest data standards
The Alliance Statistics and Data Management Center Program, also known as the Statistics and Data Management Center (SDMC), provides the statistical, data management, and information systems expertise that supports Alliance clinical trials and research. The SDMC helps ensure rigorous standards across study design, statistical technology, data collection, and management, information technology, protection of patients and their data, and regulatory compliance.
The SDMC is primarily based at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, with faculty at Duke University, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Moffitt Cancer Center, The Ohio State University, and Weill Cornell. Five operational units support the program’s work:
- Statistics
- Computational Genomics and Bioinformatics
- Data Collection and Management Unit
- Registration and Site Support
