- Guidance on fiscal management and policies
- Monthly budget statements
- Liaise between PI and other units such as Contracts and Grants and Office of Sponsored Programs

Methodological Guidance/Support
In addition to pre-award and post-award services, we are available to provide statistical support to current or planned research projects. This support is available to all HHS faculty as well as HHS students to a more limited extent.
This support typically includes analytical consultation for projects already underway or methodological consultation and power analysis for prospective projects. Support for external funding proposals, including consultation for methodological design and plan of analysis, is also available.
In all cases, the statistical and methodological support provided by the Office of Research is intended to be a collaborative effort by the faculty/student and the statistician to achieve the research goals of the investigator.
Common support roles include, but are not limited to:
- Consultation on statistical analysis for manuscript preparation
- Power analysis for prospective studies
- Methodological design consultation
- Plan of analysis consultation and/or writing for funding proposals
- Assistance with data management plan
- Coming onto a grant as the statistician or co-investigator
- Training and support for electronic data storage, and online database and survey development using REDCap.
