How to Reach Us
To best serve UNC Lineberger members and their research, and to properly allocate resources, all requests for statistical collaboration for any UNC Lineberger project should be emailed to the BIOS SR at: LCCC_BIOS@med.unc.edu
The BIOS SR looks to match statisticians to projects based on areas of expertise, level of expertise, and availability. This may mean that the statistician who initially consults on a project may not ultimately end up being the statistician of record for that project. An optimal match is always the goal.
Project assignments are coordinated by the BIOS SR Facility Director and subject to the approval of the Faculty Director.
