Collaborative Research with Academia and Business
Are you interested in a collaborative project, which might require addressing open research questions? Are your questions more challenging than what can be answered by currently available data science tools? The mission of the Institute for Research in Statistics and its Applications (IRSA) is to engage in these collaborative and trans-disciplinary projects. Suitable collaborative projects may be free of charge! Long-term projects that involve our students and faculty as research collaborators rather than just service providers, as well as certain externally or internally funded projects may not require payment for several of our services.
