Develop biostatistical aspects of study designs, statistical analysis plans, statistical analyses, study reports, and other relevant documents and efforts. Provide consultative support on the statistical suitability and regulatory compliance of USAMRIID protocol designs, statistical plans and analyses, and product development strategies from the perspectives of applicable FDA and animal care and use regulations.
