STAT-ON-CALL:
Free short-term consulting. If you are a member of the PSU community you can schedule a one-hour appointment for statistical guidance and assessment of your project needs. In this service, there is a limit of 2 follow-up appointments. We have an approved fee structure for projects requiring further collaboration. Please ask for an estimate. To schedule an appointment, you simply need to complete the Consulting Request Form and after completing and submitting the form, follow the link that appears on the next page to pick a time.
Long-Term Collaboration:
If your project requires deeper and more extensive work over an extended period of time that usually exceeds 2 weeks, you can request a long-term collaboration by filling out this Collaboration Request Form. A faculty consultant will respond to your request and schedule a meeting with you. These projects are a fee for service. See the Fee Structure.
