| Dr. Melissa Begg's primary focus is the development and administration of training programs for clinical investigators. These training opportunities recognize the importance of sound research practices as the foundation for advancing medical treatments for a variety of conditions and disorders. Under her direction, the Clinical Research Methods (CRM) and Patient Oriented Research (POR) tracks (the latter of which is funded by a Clinical Research Curriculum Development Award from the NIH) provide formal, rigorous training in the design and analysis of human research studies. Candidates in these programs are clinicians who are pursuing careers in academic medicine. In addition to clinical research education, Dr. Begg has contributed to research in the areas of oral health, mental health, categorical data analysis, and statistical methods for analyzing clustered data, for which she also received an NIH award. Currently she serves as the director of the Biostatistics Resource for the Irving Clinical Research Center and NIH-funded General Clinical Research Center, where she provides advice and support on the conduct of clinical research studies. She also serves as the director of academic programs for the Department of Biostatistics.
