UW Statistical Consulting Service (Biostatistics & Statistics)
Faculty and graduate students in the Consulting Program of the Departments of Biostatistics and Statistics offer free 50-minute consulting appointments during the academic year when classes are in session. This service is open to the entire UW community and supports a wide range of research needs, including:
- Design of studies and experiments, including grant proposal preparation
- Data visualization and presentation
- Choice and application of statistical methods
- Development of specialized statistical methods (in select cases)
Clients should come prepared to summarize the scientific background and goals of their project before diving into specific statistical questions. Consultants primarily use the R statistical software environment, but they are happy to work with whichever statistical package the client prefers.
Note: This service provides guidance on study design and data analysis. It does not include software tutorials or technical support.
