Methodological and Statistical Advisory Service

The main objective of the Methodological and Statistical Advisory Service (SAME) of UIC Barcelona is to provide specialised statistical and methodological support to researchers in every step of the development of a quantitative study.

The SAME team is made up of research technicians specialising in biostatistics who are supported by UIC Barcelona research staff. 

The methodology of the service is the following:

1. Assessment of study design.
2. Development of protocols, project requests and writing of study reports.
3. Planning and performance of statistical analysis.
4. Interpretation of results.
    

We have provided a flowchart below that plots the service from the moment of the request to obtaining the results:

Once the project request has been received, a feasibility assessment is made by SAME to schedule a meeting. This feasibility serves to establish the project calendar. 

It should be noted that SAME follows specific prioritisation criteria in the acceptance of projects:

1. Teaching staff and doctorate students with a competitive research project with funding
2. Teaching staff and doctorate students with a business project with funding
3. Teaching staff and doctorate students for the application of a competitive research project
4. Teaching staff and doctorate students with a research project without funding
5. Teaching staff and doctorate students with a business project without funding
6. Teaching staff completing a scientific publication

*Fees are applied uniformly to all types of services carried out, including assessment of study design, development of protocols, project requests and writing of study reports, planning and performance of statistical analysis, as well as interpretation of results. 

Internal fees will not apply to UIC Barcelona’s own teaching staff who do not have funding in a project. In the event that the service is being requested to qualify for a competitive research project, all SAME services (past and future) needed to develop the project will be included in the budget.
