A very detailed website based around the EU clinical trial directive aimed at those running trials in the UK. Although many of the local references to the approval processes may not apply there are some good resources and examples on this site. Many of the scenarios and guidance as generic application.

Introduction to Biostatistics provides an introduction to selected important topics in biostatistical concepts and reasoning through lectures, exercises, and bulletin board discussions. This course represents an introduction to the field and provides a survey of data and data types. Specific topics include tools for describing central tendency and variability
in data; methods for performing inference on population means and proportions via sample data; statistical hypothesis testing and its application to group comparisons; issues of power and sample size in study designs; and random sample and other study types. While there are some formulae and computational elements to the course, the emphasis is on interpretation and concepts.
