HHD Methodology Consulting Center: Services

The services we will provide include:

  1. single session consultations related to specific questions such as: What is the appropriate method to answer a particular question? What software program can one use to implement a specific method? How does one set up that program? and
  2. more intensive collaboration related to ongoing research projects; the development of new grant proposals; and the development or tailoring of new methods for specific research questions.  We recommend that for these more intensive collaborations, the investigator or project develop a working relationship with a particular center consultant (though this is not strictly necessary).

Contingent on the volume of business in the Center, we plan to have no limits on the number of sessions available to a particular client.

Consultants will be available during weekly fixed hours. Eventually, a drop-in/call-up service will be staffed by graduate students trained as consultants by members of the Center.
