Collaborative quantitative scientists, including biostatisticians, epidemiologists, bio-informaticists, and data-related professionals, play vital roles in research, from study design to data analysis and dissemination. It is imperative that academic health care centers (AHCs) establish an environment that provides opportunities for the quantitative scientists who are hired as staff to develop and advance their careers. With the rapid growth of clinical and translational research, AHCs are charged with establishing organizational methods, training tools, best practices, and guidelines to accelerate and support hiring, training, and retaining this staff workforce. This paper describes three essential elements for building and maintaining a successful unit of collaborative staff quantitative scientists in academic health care centers: (1) organizational infrastructure and management, (2) recruitment, and (3) career development and retention. Specific strategies are provided as examples of how AHCs can excel in these areas.
包括生物统计学家、流行病学家、生物信息学家和数据相关专业人员在内的合作型定量科学家，在研究中发挥着至关重要的作用，从研究设计到数据分析与传播。学术医疗中心（AHCs）必须营造一个环境，为受聘为员工的定量科学家提供职业发展和晋升的机会。随着临床和转化研究的迅速发展，学术医疗中心负责建立组织方法、培训工具、最佳实践和指南，以加速和支持此类员工的招聘、培训和留用。本文描述了在学术医疗中心建立和维持一个成功的合作型员工定量科学家团队的三个基本要素：（1）组织基础设施与管理，（2）招聘，以及（3）职业发展与留用。文中提供了具体策略，作为学术医疗中心在这些领域如何脱颖而出的示例。
