The Department of Biostatistics and Computational Biology of the School of Medicine and Dentistry offers a statistical consulting service to support faculty and non-faculty researchers of the Medical Center, as well as investigators outside the Medical Center who require help with projects and grant preparation, depending on the staffing level and the mutual interest between statisticians and investigators. Services range from purely advisory assistance to complete statistical analysis as well as support for data management. Charges for statistical consulting, programming and data management support, and computer usage are billed to investigators using established hourly rates.
We recommend that interested researchers:
- Discuss funding options that may be available to assist with obtaining consulting services with appropriate members of their departmental leadership
- Visit the UR CTSI website as well as the Scientific Advisory Committee website to determine their eligibility for other funding programs that are currently available.
We offer support for all types of projects and have expertise in a wide range of topics including
- Models for Instrumentation
