The Statistical Methods Group (SMG) of The Cochrane Collaboration was successful in receiving funding from The Cochrane Collaboration’s Opportunities Fund in 2009 to run a two day workshop for Cochrane statisticians who provide support to Collaborative Review Groups or Centres within The Cochrane Collaboration. The course was organised by the Co-Convenors of the SMG: Doug Altman, Joseph Beyene, Steff Lewis, Jo McKenzie, and Georgia Salanti.

The course was taught by several experienced statisticians covering a range of advanced issues in meta-analysis and assessment of bias.
