The sound application of statistical and mathematical methods is increasingly viewed as essential for the effective delivery of biological, environmental and food research.
Most organisations have a BioSS consultant based permanently on site.
Elsewhere a consultancy clinic is held at least one day a week, backed up by electronic links. We strive continuously to maximise the quality and value of the service we offer to our clients. Enhancements to our reporting and accounting systems means that, for the last three years, each client organisation has received an annual report detailing the support provided to their individual projects and the quantifiable outputs achieved. The quality and impact of our contribution to research programmes is reflected in the number of jointly authored papers in refereed journals, now averaging more than three papers a year for each full-time BioSS consultant. BioSS is keen to exploit developments in information technology which offer new ways of addressing the needs of our clients.
