Center for Research Data and Digital Scholarship

The Center for Research Data and Digital Scholarship (CRDDS)
CRDDS is a collaboration between Research Computing and University Libraries, offering a full range of data services and support to the university and community. Our goal is to serve as a interdisciplinary hub and resource on campus that empowers everyone as they navigate the Research Lifecycle, through workshops and seminars, certificate programs, and collaborative opportunities.

Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis

Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Statistical Analysis
LISA statistical collaborators can help design experiments, studies, and surveys; collect, analyze, and plot data; run statistical software; interpret results; and develop strategies to communicate statistical concepts and results to non-statisticians.
