Biostatistics Consortium Improving Quality Of Medical Research

Projects and collaborations are the key parameters for measuring progress of any organization. The BCI will work for developing project proposals for resolving different problems of the clinical research community and will also seek national and international collaboration for ensuring efficient research in the field of biomedical sciences. The projects will be completed in a time-bound manner, and efforts will be made to publish the findings in reputed journals.

BC extends its collaboration with various clinical researchers and institutions to offer consultancy services. BC would guide them starting from planning for research project to achieve final outcome (reports/manuscript/policy) and will guide them in various stages.
