About

The mission of the Biostatistics Consulting Center (BCC) is to support study design and data analysis for research in health, medicine, and life-sciences.

We are a cost-recovery service with professional biostatisticians available for collaborating on research projects through grant-funded research or hourly billing.

We serve faculty and graduate students at Indiana University as well as external non-profits and industry.
