About the Data Management Office
Introduction to the CEBU Data Management Office
The MCRI enabling facilities have long provided support to research groups with expertise in the areas of bioinformatics, biostatistics and clinical trials. We are also now expanding the services offerred in support of data management activities.
The Data Management Office is part of MCRI's Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Unit (CEBU), and has been created to increase the capacity for high quality research, and to foster good data management practices by providing help with, guidance on and tools for managing the data of your research project.
These pages provide an overview of the new services available.
