Statistician Consultation Request

Before you start a resident research project, you should submit a request for consult through the CCRU (Comprehensive Clinical Research Unit) web portal. A DOR Statistician will be able to help with IRB proposal/exemption preparation, electronic database abstraction, database development, data analysis/interpretation, and preparation of presentations and manuscripts.

To submit your request, go to the CCRU web portal at https://rcwp.kaiser.org/ and follow the instructions below:

  1. Click on “new user” and open an account
  2. After you receive your account information, click on “returning user” and submit your request. Be sure to indicate that you are a resident. (Under “type of assistance needed”, click “Biostatistical/Analytic support” on the drop down menu. Then click “Resident Research Project.” ) If you do not know the answer to a question, it is fine to put “don’t know”, or “this is what I need help with”, etc. The more complete the information is that you enter, the easier it will be to help you.
  3. You should hear from a DOR statistician within 3-5 days working days.

If you have any problems opening an account or entering your request, please contact Maryanne Armstrong at maryanne.armstrong@kp.org or (510) 891-3501.
