The following are four levels of support she can provide, which were agreed upon in consultation with senior departmental leadership.

1. Initial consultations. This consists of a 1-2 hour initial or urgent consultation and can be provided on a relatively urgent basis, usually within 1-2 weeks.
2. Data Analysis Service. This typically consists of performing of verifying statistical analysis of data that has already been collected in a study. These should be scheduled 4 weeks in advance.
3. Study design for prospective studies. This consists of a 1-2 hour consultation for investigators commencing new projects or assessing the statistical needs of a project before it begins. These should be scheduled 4 weeks in advance.
4. Active project involvement. This consists of involvement as a co-investigator in a research project including participation in grant preparation and submission, fiscal support from the grant, research, and subsequent co-authorship on resulting publications. These should be initiated using the Initial Consultation Mechanism.

Please note that unfortunately that except for # I, the other services cannot be provided at less than one week's notice, so please plan ahead and utilize this wonderful resource to its best advantage.
