Consultations

The CCTS Biostatistics, Epidemiology & Research Design (BERD) unit comprises a multidisciplinary team of expert biostatisticians, epidemiologists, and methodologists. The CCTS pairs investigators spanning the CCTS Partner Network with BERD Team members to enable the use of sound methodology and reproducibility in clinical and translational studies. BERD consults are intended to offer guidance during critical design and initial implementation phases (e.g. up to 8 hours of effort). Projects that necessitate a larger commitment from a biostatistician may be asked to support their effort accordingly.

Holiday Hours may affect Walk-in Clinic Schedule.

Only request a time outside of the walk-in clinic if you are unavailable during Clinic Hours. Consults beyond Clinic Hours take several days to schedule.

Completion of an Intake Form is required for every consultation.
