PROJECT SUMMARY For many decades biomedical research has benefitted from experimental design and statistical methods that give studies the power to reveal underlying mechanisms and processes. In spite of their long history and empowering role in research, experimental design and statistical principles are not well understood by experimental biologists. Our goal is to increase the number of biomedical researchers who are fluent in experimental design and statistics by developing a curriculum that provides both the conceptual background and applied practice for sound and reproducible experiments. To refine this curriculum, we will test and evaluate the curriculum with an audience of postdoctoral and predoctoral researchers at the Jackson Laboratory campuses in Maine and Connecticut. To disseminate the curriculum broadly, we will publish it as a website under an open access license for self-study and for teaching. By building, testing, and disseminating an openly accessible curriculum in experimental design and statistics, we expect to build statistical fluency among biomedical researchers. By building this fluency, we expect these researchers to find new insights into the complexity of human disease. As a result biomedical studies will have more power to uncover mechanisms and processes, which will accelerate progress in human disease research.

项目摘要 数十年来，生物医学研究受益于实验设计和统计方法 赋予研究能力以揭示潜在的机制和过程。尽管历史悠久， 在研究，实验设计和统计原理中授权作用尚未得到很好的理解 实验生物学家。我们的目标是增加流利的生物医学研究人员的数量 实验设计和统计数据通过开发课程，既提供概念背景 并应用了声音和可再现实验的实践。为了完善此课程，我们将测试和 与杰克逊的博士后研究人员和博士后研究人员一起评估课程 缅因州和康涅狄格州的实验室校园。为了广泛传播课程，我们将其出版为 在自学和教学的开放访问许可下网站。通过构建，测试和传播 我们希望在实验设计和统计学中公开访问的课程，我们希望建立统计流畅性 在生物医学研究人员中。通过建立这种流利性，我们希望这些研究人员能够找到新的见解 人类疾病的复杂性。结果，生物医学研究将有更多的能力来揭示机制 和过程，这将加速人类疾病研究的进展。
