Award to University of Pittsburgh for the Data Coordinating Center supporting a consortium studying the physiology of the weight reduced state, including study design, data management, and analysis for weight loss and maintenance research.
Description
The Data Coordination Center (DCC) will have scientific and coordination responsibilities for the Clinical Centers, NIDDK Project Scientist, and oversight bodies for the consortium studying the Physiology of the Weight Reduced State. The DCC will provide scientific, analytical, logistical, and administrative expertise to support the consortium which will include a weight loss intervention and weight loss maintenance study to elucidate the physiology of the weight reduced state and the mechanisms of individual variability in weight maintenance. This includes study design, implementation and monitoring, data management, data analysis, interpreting and reporting findings, facilitating ancillary studies, and tracking and archiving data and biospecimens.
