Scholar Events & Resources

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.

Got a research idea? Bring it to us — at any stage.

Whether you're still figuring out your research question or trying to nail down a study design, this small-group session is your space to think out loud, get feedback from experienced investigators, and move your idea forward — no formal presentation required.

Bring your big writing project, whether it is an article, book, grant proposal, or report. Join a UCSD REACH Scientist-Mentor for a 2-hour co-working writing workshop with an opportunity to ask questions or have a breakout session. No registration necessary. 9–11 AM PT every Friday.

This program provides foundational and applied training in clinical research design, experimental methods, and statistical analysis to support rigorous whole person health research. View full series
