Our department is currently engaged in two primary consulting efforts. First, we are offering statistical consulting for COVID-19 related research projects. We can help with study design, data analysis, machine learning, survey design, observational studies, prediction modeling, and many other methods. There is no charge for this service; we will prioritize projects according to our availability and expertise.
Second, we maintain an ongoing, structured Biostatistical Consulting Lab, in which our graduate students (under the guidance of Dr. Rebecca Betensky) provide the above methods of statistical support on a variety of active projects by NYU and external researchers. This is currently taking place as a weekly course for the Spring semester, but is still maintained as an extracurricular program during the Fall.
Please see below to make a request for support through either of these initiatives:
Consulting Types
Students will be contacted directly regarding incoming requests and future presentation sessions. To inquire about participation in current active projects, or for any other questions, contact Evan Wardell at evan.wardell@nyu.edu.
Products of our Consultations
Several publications have resulted from projects in collaboration with the students in our consulting lab; you can see some of them here.
Upcoming Meetings
All scheduled meetings for the Fall 2022 semester have passed; presentation sessions during the Spring take place through the Biostatistical Consulting course, so students must be enrolled to participate. Investigators may submit their projects to be scheduled for these sessions using our request form.
Current Projects
42 of our graduate students and alumni are currently providing statistical support on 12 exciting studies by investigators at the NYU School of Medicine. Below are some of these projects:
