Finding a biostatistician to work with

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,860
Welcome to the Clinician Researcher podcast, where academic clinicians learn the skills

2
00:00:05,860 --> 00:00:11,260
to build their own research program, whether or not they have a mentor.

3
00:00:11,260 --> 00:00:17,340
As clinicians, we spend a decade or more as trainees learning to take care of patients.

4
00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:22,380
When we finally start our careers, we want to build research programs, but then we find

5
00:00:22,380 --> 00:00:27,780
that our years of clinical training did not adequately prepare us to lead our research

6
00:00:27,780 --> 00:00:29,200
program.

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:35,480
Through no fault of our own, we struggle to find mentors, and when we can't, we quit.

8
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:40,580
However, clinicians hold the keys to the greatest research breakthroughs.

9
00:00:40,580 --> 00:00:46,200
For this reason, the Clinician Researcher podcast exists to give academic clinicians

10
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:51,800
the tools to build their own research program, whether or not they have a mentor.

11
00:00:51,800 --> 00:01:01,080
Now introducing your host, Toyosi Onwuemene.

12
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,840
All right everyone, welcome to today's episode.

13
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:08,000
I am Toyosi Onwuemene, your host on the Clinician Researcher podcast.

14
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,400
What a pleasure to be here today.

15
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,400
Thank you for tuning in.

16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,400
Thank you for listening.

17
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,760
Today, I'm talking about how to find a biostatistician to work with.

18
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:23,200
And before I start, I want to share with you that we are opening up slots for clinicians

19
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:28,360
who are interested in Academic Negotiation Academy, and this is to help you negotiate

20
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:32,560
your research career so that you can lead the research program that you really want

21
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,400
to lead and thrive while you do it.

22
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,720
So if you're interested, sign up on our website, clinicianresearcherpodcast.com.

23
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,080
All right, we're talking about how to find a biostatistician to work with.

24
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,420
And I want to tell you, it kind of depends whether you're looking for a biostatistician

25
00:01:47,420 --> 00:01:48,760
or not.

26
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,560
Depends on the kind of research you do.

27
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,360
So I'm a health services researcher.

28
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:56,800
I do a lot of statistics heavy type analyses.

29
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,680
And finding a biostatistician to work with can be difficult.

30
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,280
So it does depend from institution to institution.

31
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,960
I'm going to share with you some insights that I have that I want you to think about

32
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,680
as general principles.

33
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:14,200
But I've always known that I needed a statistician, at least kind of theoretically everybody tells

34
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,200
you you do.

35
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,000
And you're like, well, I need a statistician, OK.

36
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,600
But one of the ways that I finally really understood that was when I finally had submitted

37
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:23,600
a grant.

38
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,520
This was a career development award that I had submitted.

39
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:32,080
And when the award was not discussed, I had the opportunity after receiving the summary

40
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,720
statements to talk with the program officer.

41
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,680
And the very first thing the program officer said to me when we started talking was, oh,

42
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,240
you're the one who didn't have a statistician.

43
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,360
And I think I was kind of surprised by that because I was like, but how could you tell

44
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,840
I didn't have a statistician?

45
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,340
And you know, it's interesting.

46
00:02:51,340 --> 00:02:52,780
Of course they could tell.

47
00:02:52,780 --> 00:02:57,600
So on that panel, they usually will have a statistician represented to answer questions

48
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,440
of does the statistics seem appropriate?

49
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,920
Are the analyses appropriate for the particular hypothesis?

50
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:08,380
And so yes, there will be a statistician reviewing your grant.

51
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:14,680
And if you wrote the grant without a statistician, they can usually tell.

52
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,520
Now maybe you have statistics background and you can write the methodology for statistics.

53
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,560
Sure, good for you.

54
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,460
But if you don't have that background and you're going to write a grant that involves

55
00:03:25,460 --> 00:03:30,440
any statistics, it is wise to get the involvement of a statistician.

56
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,960
And many times, clinician researchers don't necessarily have access to statistical help.

57
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,220
And so I want to just shed some light on a couple of things I think are helpful for finding

58
00:03:39,220 --> 00:03:41,320
a biostatistician collaborator.

59
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:46,300
And actually, later on the show, I'm going to have a statistician come talk to us about

60
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:50,640
how clinician researchers can work with statisticians for more effective collaboration.

61
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,240
So stay tuned for that.

62
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:59,000
Okay, so the first thing that I want to share with you is that a biostatistician is a collaborator.

63
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,560
I want to say that again.

64
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,440
Biostatistician is a collaborator.

65
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,840
Because in research, we have this sense that we're doing the work and then the statistician

66
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,280
is like the person who just comes and does like the magic analysis at the end.

67
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,680
And that's the end of the story.

68
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,840
Like, oh, great, we finished the analysis, come and do the statistics.

69
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:20,440
And it doesn't actually work.

70
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,840
It doesn't work that way.

71
00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:23,600
I mean, you can do it that way.

72
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,760
It's not very effective.

73
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:30,680
And the reason it's not very effective is because statistics is not just about doing

74
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,680
math.

75
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:38,640
It's about setting up the right equations, so to speak, to be able to do the math well,

76
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,280
setting up the room well.

77
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:47,600
Like, maybe if I would correlate it to like podcasting, you can make audio sound better

78
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,600
post-production.

79
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:53,200
But if you were there at the beginning, like, you know, making sure that the space was quiet

80
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,720
and that you could record the best possible audio that you have at the beginning, then

81
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,540
you don't need people doctoring much at the end.

82
00:05:00,540 --> 00:05:04,600
And so I think of a statistician in that way, where it's like if you're setting up the study,

83
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,600
having a statistician work with you to say, okay, these are the parameters that you need

84
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,080
to make sure that you have considered.

85
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,080
These are the variables you need to collect.

86
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,800
This is the systematic fashion in which you need to collect these variables.

87
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,840
And then at the end, I'll come and do my magic math.

88
00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:20,720
It'll be so awesome.

89
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,740
That's how you collaborate with a statistician.

90
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:26,720
So from the very beginning, a statistician should really be part of your formulating

91
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,680
your research question.

92
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,640
And that's why it's important not to think of a biostatistician as an afterthought.

93
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,440
This is not like a, I finished my analysis, who's going to analyze it for me?

94
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,240
And to be honest, many of us, that's where we are.

95
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,760
It's like, well, the project's been done.

96
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,640
Now we need some help.

97
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:44,640
Okay, great.

98
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,280
And biostatisticians are awesome people, at least the ones I've worked with are.

99
00:05:48,280 --> 00:05:51,860
And they're usually able to take things and make it better.

100
00:05:51,860 --> 00:05:57,120
But if you really want optimal strategy, it really does help to meet with a biostatistician

101
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,440
upfront to be clear about what question you're trying to answer.

102
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,440
And one of the things that they do well is they understand the research methodology where

103
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,600
it's like, hmm, that's a question you want to answer.

104
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,820
This way that you're going about doing it will not answer that question.

105
00:06:10,820 --> 00:06:12,880
This is the question it will answer.

106
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,040
And that's helpful to know upfront.

107
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,900
So first of all, figure out that the biostatistician is your collaborator.

108
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:22,240
And for that reason, think about how do you incorporate the biostatistician early on in

109
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,540
the whole process and not just waiting until it's time for the analysis.

110
00:06:26,540 --> 00:06:31,200
So biostatistician is your collaborator point number one.

111
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,360
Number two is to develop your research plan.

112
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:41,000
So for many of us who may not have had research training, sometimes there's a sense that you

113
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,840
are just kind of doing research on the fly.

114
00:06:44,840 --> 00:06:48,920
But research is not really successful when it's done on the fly.

115
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,500
You could get lucky and sometimes we do.

116
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:57,160
But really being very systematic about what question you want to answer through this project

117
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,240
and being very systematic about the variables you're collecting and how those variables

118
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,540
are being collected is pretty important.

119
00:07:04,540 --> 00:07:08,100
Sometimes as clinicians, we have the tendency to just say, let's just gather as much data

120
00:07:08,100 --> 00:07:11,120
as we can and then let's see what shakes out.

121
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,400
And really, it's not a very effective strategy.

122
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,520
It's important to figure out what is the question we hope to answer at the end and what is the

123
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,520
data that we need to collect that helps us do that.

124
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,900
And sometimes there's a sense of like, we've got to collect all the data we can now.

125
00:07:26,900 --> 00:07:29,360
We can't come back.

126
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,480
And that's kind of like, I would say it's a scarcity type mindset.

127
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,280
You will always be able to come back.

128
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,800
Always be clear about what you're trying to answer and then be focused.

129
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,200
And it helps you to be able to accomplish things a little bit more effectively than

130
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,840
when you're paralyzed trying to collect all possible data.

131
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,520
And at the end, you miss the data that you actually should have collected to be able

132
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,920
to answer the question you wanted to answer.

133
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,280
And so recognize that you need a plan.

134
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,280
And this is why your statistical collaborator can help you at the very beginning of the

135
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:03,320
plan to figure out how to pull it together and what variables you're going to need to

136
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,760
make the plan a reality.

137
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,360
Because what you don't want to do is get to the end of the study and it's like, oh, we

138
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,900
can't answer the question because we didn't collect variables correctly.

139
00:08:12,900 --> 00:08:18,640
So develop your research plan, ideally with a statistical collaborator as part of the

140
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,640
early development process.

141
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:21,640
Okay.

142
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Number three is to determine what kind of statistical support you need.

143
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,200
This is really important because I started first of all talking about the need for a

144
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,640
statistical collaborator.

145
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,600
There are many different kinds of statistical collaborators.

146
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,640
There are many kinds of statisticians.

147
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,440
And the experience that they have is myriad.

148
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,920
So recently I started working with a statistician who's like, well, my expertise is trajectory

149
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,680
class analysis.

150
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,840
And I'm like, well, what?

151
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:51,840
What?

152
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,800
But every statistician has an air of expertise.

153
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,680
And especially when you think about statistical collaborators, you're really talking about

154
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:00,820
faculty.

155
00:09:00,820 --> 00:09:07,080
Faculty who have statistical methodology that they've honed and actually they're probably

156
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,800
innovating and creating new types of statistical methodology.

157
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:17,480
So your collaborator is really someone who's able to help think big picture about the project.

158
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,800
But they may not be running their own statistical analyses.

159
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,520
That's important to note.

160
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,760
And sometimes clinician researchers are just like, well, we're just looking for someone

161
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:27,760
to run the numbers.

162
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:33,080
Well, you're just looking for someone to run the numbers, maybe a master's level statistician.

163
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,920
But your faculty bio statistician, usually a PhD faculty statistician, is really like

164
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,460
the big thinker.

165
00:09:39,460 --> 00:09:42,520
And so you want to be clear about what kind of statistical support you need.

166
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,040
And hopefully you're not just looking for someone to crunch the numbers, because that's

167
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,480
not necessarily what the collaborator does.

168
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,880
They can crunch numbers, but you're better served with them really helping you think

169
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,400
big picture rather than with them doing the number crunching.

170
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:59,580
So you might need number crunching help and the statistician kind of like as a collaborator

171
00:09:59,580 --> 00:10:01,440
to really think through the data.

172
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,560
But definitely be clear about what kind of statistical support you need.

173
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:07,280
OK.

174
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,560
Number four is to find out where the statisticians hide.

175
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:18,760
So at every institution, every institution is different, but statisticians kind of exist

176
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,760
independently.

177
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,360
So sometimes there are statisticians who are associated with divisions or associated with

178
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:25,360
departments.

179
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,720
And sometimes statisticians have their own department where you kind of have to go to

180
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,780
a hub to be able to kind of recruit a statistician.

181
00:10:33,780 --> 00:10:38,640
But whatever happens, it's important for you to understand how statistical support works

182
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,720
at your institution.

183
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,160
What are the norms?

184
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:43,560
How have people succeeded?

185
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:48,840
So it's knowing what the general norms are and then understanding what's outside of the

186
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:49,840
norms.

187
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:55,440
So for example, perhaps the only way you can get access to a biostatistician at your institution

188
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,300
is for them to be part of an established departmental budget or something.

189
00:11:00,300 --> 00:11:04,960
So to have access to the statistician, then you kind of have to go through a process where

190
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,680
your project is approved and then you can talk to the statistician.

191
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:10,600
Maybe that's the way it works.

192
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,400
Or it could be that just individual people hook up with biostatistical faculty and they're

193
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,260
like off to the races.

194
00:11:17,260 --> 00:11:20,520
So you do need to understand the structures within your own institution and then how other

195
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,280
people have succeeded.

196
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,440
Because it may be that you don't have the bandwidth to wait for the couple of months

197
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,120
that's necessary to be next in line for the faculty biostatistician that's affiliated

198
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,580
with your program.

199
00:11:32,580 --> 00:11:38,040
It may be that you are able to figure out a way to find a statistical student to work

200
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,800
with you and a faculty member who's willing to look over their shoulder and just make

201
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,640
sure they're doing things right.

202
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,360
There are many, many, many, many ways to make this work.

203
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:52,560
But understanding what the range of possibilities is at your institution allows you to know

204
00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:57,400
how to meet the needs that you have within the confines of the resources that you currently

205
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,600
have available to you.

206
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,820
And so that's really important.

207
00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:06,320
Know where the statisticians hide, aka figure out what the processes are, what it takes

208
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,640
to work with a statistical collaborator, and what are the margins of what that could look

209
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:11,640
like.

210
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:12,640
Okay.

211
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,800
Number five is to pitch your statistical collaborator.

212
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:16,800
And I say pitch them.

213
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,280
And so it's interesting because some people work within groups where this is just a statistician

214
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,280
for the group.

215
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,400
It doesn't matter what your project is.

216
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,420
This is just a statistician everybody works with.

217
00:12:27,420 --> 00:12:32,720
And I will tell you that an engaged statistician will always be better than the statistician

218
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,600
you just have to work with.

219
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,820
And so helping statisticians that you work with understand your project.

220
00:12:38,820 --> 00:12:40,440
Why does that matter?

221
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,200
Why is it important?

222
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Why is the question that you want to have answered important to be answered?

223
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,140
Why have you decided to answer it in this way?

224
00:12:49,140 --> 00:12:54,000
And so it's important for you to help your statistical collaborator come on board and

225
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,120
really understand the premise behind the work.

226
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,220
Help them understand what's going on in the background because it does help them kind

227
00:13:02,220 --> 00:13:06,140
of better understand where the numbers are coming from and what the numbers are supposed

228
00:13:06,140 --> 00:13:07,880
to do for you.

229
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:13,160
And ultimately, your biostatistical collaborator is likely not going to be a clinician.

230
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,240
So there's so many things they don't understand clinically.

231
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:21,320
Your clinical expertise is so important and you framing the project in light of the clinical

232
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:25,000
problem is going to be super, super important as well.

233
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:30,740
So you want to pitch your statistical collaborator and help them have a great reason to work

234
00:13:30,740 --> 00:13:31,740
with you.

235
00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:32,740
Okay.

236
00:13:32,740 --> 00:13:34,880
So there are five things I talked about.

237
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,920
Understand that the biostatistician really is a collaborator.

238
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,560
Make sure that you develop your research plan probably in concert with a statistical collaborator.

239
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:46,800
Find out what kind of statistical support you actually need.

240
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,380
Find out where your statisticians hide.

241
00:13:49,380 --> 00:13:54,080
So understand the structure of your institution, how you can work around them, and then pitch

242
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,040
your statistical collaborator.

243
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,120
Actually sell them on your project.

244
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,360
Help them to really be a contributor to your project as well.

245
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,480
So that's definitely important for finding a biostatistical collaborator.

246
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,520
And if you're struggling and you're like, I'm trying to move work forward.

247
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,160
I can't even find a statistician.

248
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,440
Yes, there's someone in my institution who's supposed to be helping me and I can't make

249
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:16,560
it work.

250
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:20,020
It's possible that coaching will help you move it forward because what you really are

251
00:14:20,020 --> 00:14:22,800
doing is negotiating for resources.

252
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,960
See it all comes back to negotiation.

253
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:30,560
So if you are interested in learning to negotiate better for resources, including negotiating

254
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:36,200
access to biostatistical support, we can help you in the Academic Negotiation Academy.
