Research Services provides consultation, training, and tutorials to support computing and research at 艾可直播 College. The Research Services staff has expertise in statistics, statistical software, qualitative research, surveys, GIS, scientific computation, data analysis, computational mathematics, and visualization. We also provide assistance with coding, databases, Web technologies, and administration and consultation for research oriented computing hardware based within the departments and institutes.

Our manager for Research Statistics, Melissa McTernan, will be out on parental leave for the months of October through December (possibly mid-to-late September as well). Research Services Statistical Support will continue to provide complete services, but will be understaffed during this period. To ensure the highest level of support, we ask that researchers consider the following:

  • If you plan to apply for any grant funding and hope to consult a Statistician at Research Services, please reach out ASAP (preferably before 8/30) to schedule a consultation.
  • For all other non-grant related services, please expect delayed response times in the Fall. We will aim to respond to all requests within 72 business hours. If a meeting is requested or warranted, we aim to schedule a meeting within 1-2 weeks of the initial contact.
  • Please continue to submit all requests through our intake form at .
