The network was inspired by the National Plan of Scientific Research, Development and Technological Innovation framework whose Strategical Health Action establishes as one of its objectives “to increase the number and quality of human resources for health R&D&i”. The National Network of Biostatistics was first presented in April 2010 to the Education Ministry as a complementary action of scientific-technical nature.
In September 2010, after a selection process and in an advertising, objectivity and evaluation regime, this thematic network was established and called BIOSTATNET.
The BIOSTATNET Network has been funded through the following research projects:
- MTM2010-09213- E: Formación de una Red Nacional de Bioestadística. Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (2010-2012)
- MTM2011-15849- E: Consolidación de la Red BIOSTATNET: nuevas estrategias de colaboración en investigación, transferencia y formación. Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (2012-2014)
- MTM2015-69068- REDT: Afrontando Retos de Investigación Bioestadística con Proyección Internacional. Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (2015-2017)
- MTM2017-90568- REDT: BIOSTATNET: potenciando la excelencia investigadora nacional e internacional en bioestadística. Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (2018-2020)
Our objectives
Boosting
Boosting advances in knowledge by means of coordination between the different nodes and members.
Promoting
Promoting biostatistical research in excelence in Spain and facilitating collaboration among the different nodes of the network.
Enhancing
Enhancing the interaction between groups that will allow for joint proposals with other countries from outside and within the EU.
Encouraging
Encouraging different groups´ members professional development especially that of those who are still in a learning stage.
Disseminating
Disseminating and making society aware of the research activity currently being carried out in different fields, with statistics as a connecting link.
Increasing
Increasing the levels of knowledge transfer between the different actors in the "science, technology and business" system.
Consolidating
Consolidating the research results previously obtained by the members of the Network through joint R&D&I activities.
