What is this service?

It is our vision that all clinical and translational research conducted at the University of Michigan benefit from collaboration with biostatisticians throughout the life cycle of each research project. MICHR offers a wide range of pre-award and post-award biostatistical services.  

If you are at the grant development stage, MICHR’s research development team can assist you with optimizing study design and selecting analytic methods appropriate for your desired outcomes. Research development consultations are free and scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis.
