Consulting & support
Biostatistical Consulting
UCSD REACH offers access to biostatistics and research design consultation with Shah Golshan, PhD, to support investigators at all stages of their research projects. These consultations are intended to help strengthen study ideas and ensure methodological rigor, particularly during early planning and proposal-development phases.
Shah can provide guidance on refining research questions, selecting appropriate study designs, developing analytic plans, and considering issues such as feasibility, power, and interpretation of results. Support is available for a wide range of projects, from exploratory and pilot studies to grant proposals and manuscripts in progress.
Upcoming events
Research Generation Session: Finding Your Research Question and Design
Ready to move a research idea forward but still refining your research question or study design? Join Cassandra Vieten, UCSD REACH Principal Investigator, for an interactive Research Generation Session focused on shaping strong, fundable research questions and identifying the most appropriate study designs to pursue them. These sessions are designed to support early-stage and developing projects through guided discussion and collaborative problem-solving.
