The mission of the Biostatistics Consulting Service is to promote excellence in medical research in the UW Department of Medicine by providing statistical support and collaboration. The Biostatistics Consulting Service offers Department of Medicine members statistical support in the design, conduct and analysis of basic, clinical and population-based research studies. Statistical consultation is especially valuable during the planning stage of a research study or a proposal for extramural funding. The involvement of biostatisticians in data analyses strengthens the credibility of the study findings in the medical research community.
