Collaboration is defined as cooperative work between researcher and CISER statistician (either clinical statisticians or affiliate faculty) that is more involved than the basic guidance provided under Engaged Learning and meaningfully contributes to the field research. Collaboration primarily concerns work tied to funded projects (either active or in the proposal stage), where the CISER statistician is listed as a co-investigator, or CISER consulting fees have or will be contained in the grant budget. A limited number of collaboration hours are available depending on client affiliation and consultant availability.
