Consulting and Collaborative Research

CSSM engages in statistical consulting for researchers on and off campus.  CSSM, often in partnership with Survey and Behavioral Research Services (SBRS), is available for consultation and joint research on all aspects of sampling, surveys, and census-type studies.  The services provided will always depend on the needs of the particular research project under consideration, but may include defining study objectives, identifying study populations and sample design, developing survey instruments, or evaluating appropriate survey methods. Cost estimates are supplied on request. A limited amount of consulting is available at no cost. Please contact Jae-kwang Kim, CSSM Director, for more information.

Sampling expertise is provided by CSSM faculty with broad experience in sample design, including:

  • Random digit dialing samples
  • List samples
  • Area samples
  • Case-control designs
  • Weighting calculations
