USC's Research Data Analysis and Statistics Support Service - Data Help for the Campus Community The Research Data Analysis and Statistics Support Service at USC's Libraries provides free stats and analysis help for faculty, students, and staff at the Columbia campus. This service, staffed by a Statistics PhD student, is in its second pilot year. As the only service of its kind available to anyone on campus, it has become an important source of help for researchers who lack the statistics background to complete projects. As the largest user group, graduate students are particularly well-served. In this lightning talk, participants will learn about the need for this service and first-steps that can be taking to bring a similar service to their own campuses.
