Faculty and graduate students in the Consulting Program of the Departments of Biostatistics and Statistics offer free statistical advice to University of Washington faculty, staff, and students through scheduled 50 minute consulting appointments during academic quarters. They provide assistance with:
- the design of studies and experiments, including the preparation of grant proposals
- data visualization and presentation
- choice and application of statistical methods, and the interpretation of results
- development of specialized statistical methods in some cases
The consultants have experience primarily with the R statistical analysis system, but they work with clients using whatever statistical package is most convenient for them. However, the service is for study design and data analysis advice, not for software tutorials or code review.
We are no longer scheduling new clients for Spring 2025. Existing Spring 2025 clients seeking a follow-up appointment should email Biostatistics consulting ([email protected]) or Statistics Consulting ([email protected]). Scheduling will open for Autumn 2025 appointments in the second half of September.
Fee-based consulting on major projects is also provided by the Center for Biomedical Statistics in the U.W. Institute of Translational Health Sciences.
