Biomedical & Behavioral Methodology Core

The BBMC mission is to support and enhance study design, data capture, and analytics for academic research.

Established in 2013, BBMC is a collaboration with College of Medicine - Department of Pediatrics, Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, and College of Public Health. Our team is comprised of biostatisticians and experienced researchers. The Core offers a variety of support services for projects at any stage of development.

In addition to the consultation services our team provides, many members of the team continue to lead their own research studies within their own departments. BBMC is home to the EmBRACER Center and has close affiliations with the Child Study Center and the Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (both within OU Pediatrics).

BBMC also provides general and advanced research training opportunities for researchers at all levels of experience. If you would like to receive methodology support, including statistics consultation, project design help, or database support, please submit a request here for a free one-hour consult with a member of our team.
