How are grant preparations and long-term collaborations handled?
There is no charge for grant preparation assistance in which the biostatistics faculty, and possibly, the staff consultant are serving as co-investigators with substantial percent effort for salary coverage, as it is done in the spirit of true scientific collaboration. If a department or a division/section needs long term on-going statistical support, this can be done by compensation through salary coverage for the percent effort to the Biostatistics Department. The details of these types of arrangements must be worked out with the Chair of the Department of Biostatistics.
