Our Team
The University of Wisconsin Data Coordinating Center (DCC) was established in 2016 as a component of the Clinical Trials Program in the Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics (BMI) in the UW School of Medicine and Public Health.
The DCC supports and is engaged in collaborative clinical research projects which are NIH- or industry-funded data coordinating centers.
The DCC plays a critical role in coordinating and implementing large multi-center randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and other types of clinical research studies, bringing expertise in planning, conduct, monitoring, analysis and reporting and in data management, quality control and quality assurance, and information technology support for trial monitoring and communication, all needed to complement the clinical investigators' content expertise.
