In-Person Consulting and ONLINE Virtual Consulting @ CSSCR
CSSCR provides consulting on statistical/quantitative and qualitative analysis software, data management, data access, and scientific publications.
Autumn Quarter 2021 marked a returned to in-person consulting services during the week Monday – Thursday 8AM-6PM and Friday 8AM-5PM.
We have also continued offering online service during the day during these same hours, as well as in the evenings from 6PM-9PM Monday through Thursday. Daytime online service is simply accessed by sending a note to CSSCR@uw.edu with a brief description of your needs. Online evening service is available by sending a similar note to csscr_evening@uw.edu. A brief outline of your problem/need helps us route you to the appropriate consultant. In both cases, we will reach out to you and schedule an online meeting with an appropriate consultant.
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 availabilty. 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.
