The ITEMFC project identification and selection processes is informed and guided by a peer-review process (Phase 1). Final study design of successful project applications will be approved following ITEMFC review with input by the Biostatistics and Informatics Facility Core (BIFC) and the Integrated Health Science Facility Core (IHSFC) (Phase 2).  Methods validation, data collection and interim results vetting will occur under the guidance of the ITEMFC core leader and the shared resource director (Phase 3).  A review and reporting of data analysis results will be provided to the project PI with supporting interpretation by BIFC (Phase 4).  Remaining biologic samples will be returned as needed to the study PI and/or IHSFC for longer-term storage.
