CSTAT Opportunities for Graduate Students for SS21

The MSU Center for Statistical Training and Consulting (CSTAT) is a professional service and research unit at MSU. They offer free statistical support, workshops and a self-paced course to assist graduate students.

CSTAT graduate students help graduate students

MSU graduate students can receive up to 9 hours per year (July 1 to June 30) free statistical support for their dissertation research. Additional hours may be available depending sponsorships by colleges or departments. This time can encompass meetings to discuss the project; recommending methods, resources, or software; contact and communication time as well as time outside of meetings needed for data analysis, report writing, or other tasks deemed necessary.

Please schedule a meeting (Zoom) if you would like to discuss your statistical analyses: https://www.cstat.msu.edu/cstat-services
