The remit of SAS is wide - for example: offering help with statistics, methodology, and grant applications. We also provide Short Courses in statistics and statistical software. The service is part of Imperial College London, ensuring that clients can take advantage of the staff's research expertise.

Who pays?

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 (SAS is included on InfoEd as a FEC charged-out facility).
