Because each project is different and has different resources, the timeline of the consultation can vary quite a bit. The initial consultation is provided on all requested aspects of the project and is available at no charge. The costs for the provision of services beyond the initial consultation are dependent on the nature and scope of work.

What consultations look like

• Investigators should reach out to schedule an appointment.
• An exploratory email may be sent to determine what services are being requested.
• The initial consultation with the faculty/staff associated with the requested services is usually conducted via Zoom.
• During the meeting, the scope of the work is discussed.
• Feedback is provided.
• Arrangements for additional services (proposal, referrals, analysis) may be made.

How to prepare

• Understand your goal for the consultation.
• Know what services will be helpful to your needs.
• Gather documents such as protocol, instruments, or codebook.
• Prepare list of questions
