The Office of Collaborative Biostatistics (OCB), Office of the Clinical Director, provides statistical leadership for CCR's clinical activities and is involved in the design, review, conduct, monitoring and statistical analyses of NCI intramural, and occasionally multi-center clinical trials of experimental treatments for cancer, AIDS and AIDS-related malignancies.
Data Analysis and Consultation
In addition to collaboration on clinical trials, the OCB provides a broad range of data analysis and consultation services to CCR laboratories performing basic research into the origin and growth mechanisms of cancer and HIV/AIDS.
Other major collaborative efforts include clinical studies to identify important prognostic and treatment selection factors, evaluate diagnostic procedures, develop improved staging systems and assist investigators in the design, execution and analysis of major pharmacokinetic and in vitro drug testing studies. The section develops and implements novel statistical study designs and biometric methods related to the development and evaluation of new cancer and HIV/AIDS-related malignancy treatments.

Directions to the Office by Car:
From the NIH campus, use either Old Georgetown Road or Rockville Pike to exit onto I-270 North. Travel to Exit 6B, Route 28, toward Darnestown. Once on Route 28 heading west, drive 2.0 miles as the road becomes Key West Avenue and crosses Shady Grove Road. After crossing Shady Grove Road, turn left at the first traffic light, onto Medical Center Drive. The new building is on the right. Drive just past the parking garage and turn right onto Blackwell Road and then turn right into the multi-level parking garage.
If you are an NCI employee, please place your PIV card on the reader to raise the gate, as on the main campus. If you are not an NCI employee (such as an employee of a different NIH ICD or a non-NIH employee), please push the button, obtain a ticket, and then take the ticket with you to our meeting location. I will need to ensure that you are on an NCI visitor’s log at the security desk to get the ticket validated.
Walk through the garage, and enter the building through the main front door. Non-NIH or FDA employees will be directed to the right to get a visitor’s pass and will then be escorted upstairs. All others take the gate to the right marked for visitors and present your NIH PIV card as identification. Then go forward to the glass wall, turn to the left toward the West tower, go up to the second floor by elevator or the glass-enclosed staircase, and once there, look for signs directing you to the appropriate CCR office.
When leaving, if you are an NCI employee, use your PIV card to exit the parking garage as when entering. If you are not an NCI employee, please place the validated ticket in the slot on the reader. If there is a problem, please push the red intercom button to discuss with security.
Directions to the Office by Shuttle:
A direct, express shuttle operates between the NIH campus (from the front of Building 31) and NCI Shady Grove, where the Biostatistics and Data Management Section is located. The schedule can be found in this document:
