Our Team

The DMASC provides multi-disciplinary expertise in information technology, clinical research informatics, clinical trials auditing, clinical trials methodology and biostatistics, and operations management to support CP-CTNet activities.

CP-CTNet Organizational Chart with the following boxes: National Cancer Institute Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP) connects to Cancer Prevention Clinical Trials Network (CP-CTNet). CP-CTNet connects on its right to Steering Committee and connects below it to CP-CTNet Sites and CP-CTNet Data Management, Auditing and Statistical Center (DMASC). DMASC connects on its right to External Advisor Committee.

The DMASC is a collaboration between the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and Frontier Science Foundation

Department of Biostatistics and Medical Informatics; University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health

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.
