"It has thus become increasingly important that the teaching of good medical research methods be expanded to scientists and institutions in low and middle-income countries that face major health challenges in the decades ahead. There is a critical shortage of technical skills in these countries and, for that matter, in
first-world nations researchers who are imbued with a deep understanding of the fundamental ideas underlying the successful design and analysis of medical and public health research studies. Such ideas must necessarily incorporate the latest algorithms and statistical approaches afforded by the computing and communication revolutions, in addition to the essential ethics of experimentation, policy advising and reporting to our communities regarding the public’s health."
Nicholas P. JEWELL, Ph.D., MedicReS Scientific Board Member
Good Medical Research is research that has the potential to deliver results that can improve the capabilities and decision-making of clinicians, and that obtains its results via methods that respect the rights of human subjects. Settling questions about what counts as good medical research is an interdisciplinary enterprise, requiring contributions from statisticians, scientists, clinicians, and ethicists, and the MedicReS is bringing these experts together. It is my hope that attendees will come away with a better understanding of the ethics of these trials. There is a growing consensus that clinical researchers are justified in doing less than their best for the subjects in their trials when necessary to obtain results that will help future patients more. I criticize this view on the grounds that it neglects the moral constraint against allowing harm as a means, and describe several trial designs that intend the harmful consequences of withholding care as a means to various research-related ends. I hope you will consider participating in MedicReS to hear a variety of presentations on the theme of good medical research, and to participate in the conversations they generate.
This is a great opportunity to get together and brainstorm and ponders about the
future of collaborative research.

MedicReS brings together a diverse group of researchers with differing experience and opinions. This is a great opportunity to get together and brainstorm and ponders about the future of collaborative research. My subject will discuss where analysis, particularly that of big data, is headed. My subject will discuss where analysis, particularly that of big data, is headed. I will discuss the definition of big data from a biostatistics perspective. It will review some of the work that has been done and where statistical analyses are headed in the future. Please join MedicReS Club as it is a great opportunity to discuss how to advance science using good, biostatistical, and ethical practices.

The job of medical researchers is to ensure that these probabilities and uncertainty margins are robust—a task that is contingent on the pursuit, not of truth, but of methodological rigour. MedicReS aims to educate researchers and provoke discussion about good scientific method, statistics, ethics, publication, and education. Faced with stifling bureaucracy, competition for funds, and employer pressure to deliver results, finding the time and space to produce the best research can seem an arduous process. MedicReS should help to emancipate researchers, refocusing them on the steps to ensure that their research is as rigourous as possible.
