Statistical and bioinformatic advice to researchers
IDIVAL offers specialized advice on statistics, which includes from the planning of experiments and studies to the analysis of data and helps in the interpretation of results.For support, the Unit is supported by the IDIVAL Clinical Trials Agency and the following experts from our environment:
Pedro Muñoz Cacho (Family and Community Medicine Teaching Unit, Cantabrian Health Service). Email:pedro.munoz@scsalud.es
Carlos Redondo Figuero(Primary Care Pediatrician, Cantabrian Health Service). Email:carlos.redondo@unican.es
IDIVAL also offers research support with the incorporation of a bioinformatics technician:
To request service send thespecific unified formto one of the experts of the Unit or bioinformatic technician.
In the case of Unit experts, the application will be evaluated internally and a budget will be provided for acceptance. Once the budget is accepted, the requested work will be carried out. Fees will be charged to IDIVAL research projects. The rates for methodological support are as follows:
Internal rate: The applicable hourly rate with projects in the institution is € 30 / hour.
External rate 1: The hourly rate applicable to external clients that are public entities is € 40 / hour.
External rate 2: The hourly rate applicable to external clients that are private entities is € 90 / hour.
In the case of bioinformatic support, it is recommended to provide a detailed description of the experiment, objectives of the analysis and variables to consider. Send the form to the address:bioinformatica1@idival.org.
The request will be evaluated internally and the acceptance will be communicated via email, details will also be finalized (fees will not be charged although minimum delivery times are required depending on the request).
