The purpose of the population science shared resource [core] is to foster new research projects and collaborations of clinical, basic, and population scientists to further individual
and population health. The core aims to foster projects of the highest quality genetic, epidemiologic, behavioral, applied, and surveillance cancer research.
The core is composed of staff who are based in institutional centers of expertise, with intimate knowledge of the resources of these centers and how to harness them.
Staff include computer programmers, database analysts, and research scientists.
The core provides investigators with services, including:
- Collaborating with investigators to develop population-based study protocols
- Providing expertise in coordination of field research activities, including subject recruitment and data collection management
- Providing expertise in coordination of database research activities, including linkage studies
- Providing expertise in coordination of GIS research activities
- Providing assistance with collection and processing of paraffin-embedded tissue samples from the Iowa Tissue Repository, Iowa Virtual Repository, or
Residual Tissue Repository
- Assisting with TeleForm to design data collection forms and databases
