About Us ... What We Seek to Accomplish

The overall mission of Statistical Consulting Center is to enhance the research culture at Illinois State University. The primary focus of our initial efforts is aimed at providing stronger statistical support. The goals of the SCC include:

To facilitate the interaction between experts in various fields of scientific inquiry and those who have expertise in statistics.
To enhance the reliability and validity of study designs by incorporating statistical design methods and assistance in data analysis.
To develop and maintain a database consisting of individuals with described statistical expertise as a resource for faculty colleagues.
To promote and facilitate interaction between researchers across the university.
To provide state of the art elementary and advanced statistical resources that can be shared by all University faculty. These resources include personal mentoring expertise, statistical software and text-based knowledge .

How Does the SCC Work?

Illinois State University's SCC involves both a physical work space within Milner Library and a virtual community of select faculty colleagues with experience and expertise in a variety of statistical methodologies. These faculty colleagues are appointed as University Statistical Fellows and agree to work individually with faculty colleagues within their own areas of expertise for 25 total hours during the course of a calendar year. A description of each University Statistical Fellow's own particular areas of expertise can be found in the bios under the link titled "Staff Info" in the left-hand column.
