Consultations

The MSU Department of Epidemiology provides consultative services to clinical investigators, public health professionals, and health care providers. Involvement in consultation depends on faculty interest, time commitments and available resources. In the past, some Department consulting activities have led to on-going collaborative research projects.

The Biostatistics Unit's consulting activities have addressed a spectrum of different statistical analyses, questions on statistical methodology, design of clinical studies, and sampling and data management issues. Recent and continuing consulting projects have included work within the university, as well as with regional health maintenance organizations, hospitals, and external research groups.
