In-Person Consulting Services!
Computational consulting is a core service of CSSCR. We staff a Consulting Office in Savery 119 five days a week during the academic year. Our consulting staff comprises graduate students from our member departments who have extensive knowledge of and experience with a wide range of statistical software and methods. They represent a range of disciplines intended to meet the needs of our various member departments and schools, as well as the needs of the general student population of the University.
The Consulting Office is staffed to accommodate drop-in appointments on a first come, first serve basis. Individual consultants’ hours also vary based on their quarterly schedules and availability. If all of our consultants are already occupied at the time of your visit, or if you would wish to set up an appointment in advance, please send an email to csscr@u.washington.edu and describe the problem so we may direct you to a consultant with skills tailored to your issue.
Data Access and Management
CSSCR maintains an electronic data archive and offers help in acquiring data from other sources. We are a member of the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR); see the link in the sidebar for more information. CSSCR is also a distribution site for U.S. Census Materials in electronic form. Most of our Census data is for the State of Washington, but there is some U.S. national data, see the link in the sidebar for census/ACS data.
CSSCR also has an active CDROM Archive, available at the sidebar link to the right.
Most of our data is available via the Internet. Our Online Data Archive is accessible to University of Washington students, faculty and staff. If we do not have the data you are interested in please contact Tina Tian, our Data Archivist.
Also, our Data Archivist can help you find and use research data for your dissertation or thesis research project, class project and general research project. Email Tina Tian at txtian@uw.edu or stop by in Savery 110.
