Statistical Consulting Services

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. 

Consulting appointments are held via Zoom and available by appointment only. Appointments for Winter 2025 are available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
