Data Management and Analysis Core (DMAC)

Abstract The Data Management and Analysis Core (DMAC) works closely with all Center components to provide high quality data management and analysis in support of Center research goals of exploring developmental and later- life health effects of early life exposures to PAH’s and metals. The DMAC will support management and integration of data assets across the Center through development and deployment of a Center-wide Data Asset Inventory and specific to each project (and cores conducting data collection) a comprehensive Data Management Plan, Data Quality Plan, and Statistical Analysis Plan. DMAC will provide state of the art data science and statistical analysis support to projects and cores as needed. DMAC will develop ontology-backed search tools to facilitate within-Center exploration of project findings and will develop and deploy innovative data visualization and search tools to help researchers (within the Center and beyond) explore Center data assets and potential connections with other relevant research.
