Welcome to INOVA Health – GMU Statistics Collaborations
After 5 years of successful collaboration as part of the iTHRIV partnership, INOVA Health and GMU Statistics are delighted to announce the continuation of our collaboration into the next phase.
As part of the continuing Inova-George Mason University (GMU) partnership, statistical experts at GMU are available to provide support to colleagues from Inova Health System. All requests for support by Inova employees must be reviewed and approved by the Office of Research at Inova (ORI).
New Project
- Plan well in advance of important deadlines. Here are some suggested guidelines:

- Authorship Policy. We follow the authorship policies set forth by George Mason University and the Profession: An author is commonly considered to be an individual who has made substantial, direct, intellectual contributions to the work during the conceptualization of a study, conduct of the research or scholarship, analysis and interpretation of data, or drafting and revising the manuscript for intellectual content.
- Priority will be given to projects requiring substantial statistical analyses and/or the simultaneous development of new statistical methodology. Discussions pertaining to authorship (e.g. order of authorship, target journals for submissions, level of support for proposals, etc.) will begin with the initial project meeting and should be agreed upon by all parties.
