Description
PROJECT SUMMARY ABSTRACTOur goal in this SBIR effort is to produce a web based suite of tools and services to help researchers design methodologically sound experiments for improved research outcomes and reproducibility of resultsDesignAssist provides a promising approach that connects animal researchers to experimental design expertisedelivering a cost effective solutionalleviating the need for in house design expertisean expensive propositionand improving the reliability of research findingsOur research and development goal in this proposed effort is to develop a conduit between animal researchers and design supportproviding user friendly web based tool for researchers toadevelop experimental study goals and translate them into appropriate statistical structurebcreate experimental plans for randomization and blindingcexamine sample sizedetectable effect sizeand statistical powerdundertake data analysis with insights on outlier detectioninclusion exclusion stopping criteriaeobtain expert advice on all of the above through an on line chat interfaceandfobtain a detailed report of experimental design recommendations and their justifications
