In the Spotlight
Discovering health across disciplines
Health researchers at Illinois are working to find solutions to some of today’s most pressing societal health challenges. Learn more about how they conduct their research, what inspires their work, and how the University of Illinois makes it possible.
Meghan Burke, PhD, BCBA-D
"For this project, we needed the expertise of a biostatistician to help conduct appropriate analyses for the project. BERD was perfect to fulfill this role."
Liliane Windsor, PhD
"I have worked with the BERD team on several projects. The team is responsive, knowledgeable, and their input strengthens the rigor of my research. More importantly, we are able to communicate clearly. This can be a challenge sometimes as different fields use different terminology and had different expectations. The BERD team is able to understand my needs and adapt to meet them."
Timothy Fan, PhD
"The BERD team is very approachable and wants to help faculty and staff with their research projects. Illinois faculty wishing to engage with the BERD team should be proactive and set up meetings so that the BERD team has a good understanding of the needs of individual projects and can estimate time commitment required for successful project completion and data analysis."
Marie Moore Channell & Laura Mattie, PhDs
"Illinois REDCap comes with video tutorials, live training sessions, and access to highly skilled support staff who understand the research process. Whenever our team wanted to know if something could be done, Michelle Lore and other IHSI REDCap team members would work with us to find a solution."
Kirby Cook, PhD Candidate
"The consistent and clear help from the Illinois REDCap team has been extremely important to the projects I have done, as their insights have helped to expand my knowledge on advanced functions and potential options for solving issues."
Joanna Shisler, PhD
"Support from the Illinois REDCap team is essential to keeping data collection streamlined and continuing the study uninterrupted."
Christopher Brooke, PhD
"Illinois REDCap is a great way to manage complex datasets, especially as part of large collaborative groups."
Liliane Windsor, PhD
"Our project wouldn’t have been successful in launching the data collection on time as needed if it wasn’t for the REDCap platform."
