Quantitative Study Design: Offering expert advice on statistical issues such as power analysis for sample size determination, essential for ensuring your study can detect significant effects.
Data and Measurement Strategies: Advising on effective data collection and measurement techniques to ensure the validity and reliability of your research outcomes.
Reviewer Comments Response (for resubmissions): Assisting in understanding and responding to reviewer feedback on the statistical aspects of your study design for proposal revisions.
Data Analysis: Conducting thorough analyses of collected data using suitable statistical methods to confirm your research findings.
Results Interpretation: Assisting in interpreting statistical results, discussing the implications of your findings in relation to the original research questions, and aiding in the preparation of results for publication.
Things to Know
We emphasize collaborative engagements between researchers and statistical consultants throughout the project lifecycle, from pre-award through post-award phases. To achieve optimal outcomes, it is recommended that faculty members include the statistician in a collaborative role, such as a co-investigator.
Both pre-award and post-award statistical work should be budgeted into the grant proposal.
Faculty members who prefer not to include the statistician as a collaborative partner may still request internal funding for pre-award statistical consultation services, though please note that such funding is limited and approved at ADR discretion.
Faculty members are encouraged to schedule consultations through the request form below during the early stages of proposal preparation. Early involvement of the statistician is highly recommended. This ensures that statistical considerations are effectively integrated from the beginning through the implementation phase to the final analysis and dissemination of results.

Additional Resources
Wi-Fi hot spots are provided for faculty and students requiring off-campus internet access for travel, field research or student projects.
To reserve a hot spot, individuals should contact Irma Preciado at i.preciado@tcu.edu providing dates and availability for device pick up.
Please note:
- They need to kept turned off while on campus to avoid interfering with TCU's wireless network.
- They can only be used in the U.S.
- They only work on Sprint's network, which is limited.
Faculty in Harris College can access up to $500 in funding to support honorariums for external expert reviewers providing feedback on grant applications.
This resource aims to facilitate timely and valuable feedback before submission, with a goal to increase the likelihood of grant funding.
To utilize this resource, faculty members must have a nearly finalized grant application draft ready for review, and the faculty member should be a principal investigator for the grant application.
