Harris Biostatistics Consulting
Provided by the team at statswithr.com
At Harris Biostatistics Consulting, we offer the services you need to go from study conception to manuscript submission. This can start from initial study design questions before data collection begins and finish with analysis justification for reviewers. Our services include time-consuming data cleaning, where our statistical programming support saves your team time and energy. Our primary statistician, Michael Harris, MS, MAS (Google Scholar), has years of experience using R for statistical analysis, data manipulation, and application development. In the study design and analysis realm, which is described here as statistical consulting, we have tools to help you as well. We have published papers using a variety of endpoints to answer diverse research questions.

Free Introductory Call
Not sure which service is right for your project? Schedule a free 15-minute project fit video call to briefly discuss your research question, current stage, and statistical needs. The purpose of this call is to determine whether Harris Biostatistics Consulting is a good fit for your project and to identify the most appropriate next steps. We can discuss the general scope of the work, expected timeline, and which consulting service may be most appropriate. The project fit call is intended for project scoping only and does not include statistical analysis, detailed methodological recommendations, interpretation of results, power or sample-size calculations, or review of study materials. If you would like substantive statistical guidance, you can instead schedule a one-hour statistical consultation below.
