Partner Schools

 
Funding for Stats Central comes from the Research Division, with support from the School of Mathematics and Statistics, and a growing suite of partner schools. Any UNSW school or unit can partner with Stats Central by paying for a portion of a consultant’s time (from 20% FTE upwards), in exchange for a consultant being assigned to the school/unit to specialise in that particular field and be physically based in the Partner School for a commensurate amount of time.  This is a mechanism for creating a deeper and more collaborative relationship between your school and a Stats Central consultant, who will over time become more familiar with the subtleties of your field, as needed for best-practice consulting.
 
The precise arrangements are negotiable and reviewed regularly but typically partner school members get free consulting advice (to an extent commensurate with the partner school contribution) and workshops can be offered internally, tailored to the needs of the partner school.  Teaching assistance on quantitative topics is also common.
 
Current Stats Central Partners:
  • School of Mathematics and Statistics
  • School of Clinical Medicine:
    • Randwick Clinical Campus
    • St. Vincent's Health Care Clinical Campus
    • Rural Clinical Campuses
    • Southwest Sydney Clinical Campuses
    • St. George & Sutherland Clinical Campuses
    • Discipline of Psychiatry and Mental Health
  • School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES)
  • Kids Cancer Centre
  • Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA)

Stats Central also collaborates with research groups on projects requiring ongoing specialised expertise for a period of time, under similar funding arrangements. 

 
Current projects:

  • Maintain Your Brain (Dementia Collaborative Research Centre and Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing)

  • Improving Health Outcomes, Well-being and Care of People Living with Dementia in the Hospital Setting (Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing)
