To that end, we offer support in research design (refinement of research ideas, specification of aims and hypotheses, selection of data collection methods, sample size calculations, statistical analysis plan); in data extraction from electronic medical records; and in data analysis, reporting of the results and abstract and manuscript preparation. One way we provide this support is through statistical support offered by MedStar Health Research Institute.
