One option is to request a certain number of hours of consulting at the hourly rate. The SCC Director is available for help in preparing estimates of consulting and data processing costs. A third option is to request a research assistantship for a graduate student from the Department of Statistics and Actuarial Science, whose work will be supervised by the SCC Director. The SCC staff are interested in establishing collaborations with clients. When an SCC staff member is a co-author on a paper, writing the statistical methods and results section is primarily the responsibility of the SCC staff member.
All initial consultations are free.
For research that is not funded, students, faculty, and staff can receive up to ten hours of statistical consultation at no charge. This free 10 hours of consultation is in the form of helping researchers design experiments, analyze data, and interpret and summarize results. Requests for data analysis to be performed primarily by the SCC staff must be funded, unless the client is a faculty member of the College of Liberal Arts. This meeting will enable us to work more productively with the graduate student and to explore the possibility of interdisciplinary collaboration. What to bring.
