Biostatistics Clinic
The Department of Health Studies announces the creation of a new statistical consultation service, the Biostatistics Clinic. The Clinic has been established to provide free, short-term statistical consultation. This could include:
- discussion about study design,
- sample size calculations,
- advice on organizing data for analysis,
- basic data analysis,
- advice to those conducting their own analyses,
- initial planning and referral for more extensive consultation.
Staffed by members of the Biostatistics Laboratory, the Clinic is held on Tuesdays from 9-1 with one-hour time slots available. Although walk-in’s are welcome, we recommend reserving a time slot. An appointment can be requested by going to http://biotime.uchicago.edu and selecting the “Request Clinic Appointment” option. Any project requiring longer term collaboration will continue to be referred to the full services of the Biostatistics Laboratory.
For those not familiar with the Biostatistics Laboratory, it is located in the Medical Center at the north end of the 3rd floor of the Mothers Aid Research Pavilion (MARP – R-corridor). This can be accessed from the 2nd floor of Goldblatt (W and G corridors) by the staircase at the west end of the corridor near the entrance to the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology suite.
This service is funded in part by the University of Chicago Institute for Translational Medicine (CTSA) to lower barriers and to accelerate clinical and translational research programs.
Questions about the clinic program can be sent using the “Contact Us” option on the biotime web site.
