Scientific independence · shared standards · trust

Together, we are building the methodological future of clinical research.

KlinBiS works to establish an independent national reference structure in education, competency, scientific standards and accreditation.

Scientific quality is a system, not an outcome.
Transparent processes, measurable criteria and shared responsibility.

Why KlinBiS?

From clinical data to scientific evidence, from scientific evidence to clinical decisions.

Among our core priorities is enabling physicians engaged in research to correctly distinguish between and manage clinical and research data, effectively use clinical biostatistical methods appropriate to the research question, critically evaluate research and scientific publications, accurately interpret the evidence generated, and translate it into clinical decision-making.

Our mission and vision
01

Independence

Scientific decisions are independent of individuals, institutions and commercial relationships.

02

Transparency

Criteria, processes and responsibilities are communicated openly.

03

Measurability

Quality is grounded in observable and assessable evidence.

04

Accountability

The scientific and ethical responsibility for every decision is explicitly assumed.

Scientific structure

3 Main Boards. One Quality Culture.

KlinBiS addresses accreditation, competency, and education and curriculum as complementary parts of an integrated quality system.

Mission & vision

Turning scientific quality into a shared language.

Our mission

The mission of KlinBiS is to ensure the strong and sustainable integration of biostatistics with the clinical sciences, to establish clinical biostatistics across the dimensions of education, research and practice, and to lead efforts to make clinical biostatistics education a core and sustainable component of medical specialty training. Accordingly, KlinBiS aims to lead the development of education, competency and quality models that enable physicians engaged in research to distinguish between clinical data and research data; manage research data in accordance with scientific standards; correctly and effectively use clinical biostatistical methods suited to the research question and data structure; plan and conduct research scientifically; critically appraise scientific publications; accurately interpret the quality and strength of evidence; and translate the resulting scientific evidence into clinical decision-making.

Our vision

The vision of KlinBiS is to become Türkiye's independent, trusted and internationally aligned scientific reference organisation for clinical biostatistics; to strengthen the role of clinical biostatistics in medical education, clinical research and clinical decision-making; to lead the development of national standards for education, competency, qualification and accreditation; to advance scientific and professional quality; and to strengthen Türkiye's clinical research capacity at both national and international levels.

Scientific governance

Our scientific structure: from shared standards to tangible outputs.

KlinBiS's scientific governance structure provides a common framework for work in education, competency, accreditation, standards development, quality and ethics. Three main boards, together with supporting boards and commissions, are structured to produce tangible and traceable scientific outputs within clearly defined areas of responsibility.

A shared scientific language for clinical biostatistics.

The KlinBiS Clinical Biostatistics Glossary brings together Turkish equivalents, English terms, concise definitions and clinical examples within a shared scientific terminology. It is maintained as a living KlinBiS resource that can evolve with scientific usage and terminology.

Scientific assurance

Transparent criteria, institutional accountability.

Our development, evaluation and decision-making processes are structured around scientific evidence, transparency and accountability.

Institutional development status01

The accreditation framework is under scientific and administrative development.

KlinBiS does not currently claim formal programme accreditation authority. Standards, evaluation methods, decision rules and quality assurance mechanisms are being developed with relevant scientific stakeholders.

  • Standards development
  • Governance model
  • Quality assurance
Scientific governance02

Evaluation and decision processes are based on predefined criteria.

Scientific standards, programme evaluations and reasoned decisions are grounded in evidence-based criteria, conflict-of-interest management and independent board review.

  • Scientific evidence
  • Conflict management
  • Independent review
Open and inclusive scientific community

Knowledge, experience and solidarity meet in the KlinBiS Network.

The KlinBiS Network brings together students, researchers, academics and healthcare professionals interested in clinical research, health sciences and biostatistics within an open and inclusive scientific community. Participants receive updates on announcements, events, education, publications and voluntary working opportunities. Participation in the Network does not confer a title, governance authority or Scientific Board membership.
