in aging. The BDAC is equipped to provide critical services on a consulting basis (e.g. in an advisory capacity in critical review of study data collection procedures) and more formally (e.g. in conducting simulation studies and power calculation). Furthermore, the BDAC provides support for ongoing projects by providing critical review and expertise in evaluating study conduct, or more extensive, pre-specified contributions to trial objectives. Support services for study completion are also available in providing guidance and assistance in statistical analyses, as well as co-authorship of abstracts and manuscripts describing study results.
Charge back system for external projects: Priority for BDAC resources will be given to OAIC projects. However, there are many ongoing and anticipated external projects that could benefit from the proposed BDAC services. For current and future projects requested FAC resources the current charge back rates will apply:
