We use methodology which reflects the latest developments in statistical research, and provide training in statistical methods and software.
The Statistical Advisory Service is a unit set-up to help all the staff and postgraduate students working in Imperial College with advice, support and practical help in carrying out research, writing grant applications and providing specialised research training. We also provide short courses in statistics and statistical software.
The service also provides statistical help to public bodies and private companies on a commercial basis.
The SAS is part of Imperial College London, ensuring that clients can take advantage of the staff's research expertise. The SAS was established in January 2004. Amid the help on offer is:

Who Pays?
An initial consultation is free. Afterwards, the service provided can be paid for on an hourly, or daily, basis. If you are planning a project requiring extensive data analysis or continuing support, you need to request funds for statistical assistance in your research budget (the SAS is included on InfoEd as a FEC charged-out facility).
