Ways to work with DASS

How we can support your research

Start with one defined question or bring us into an ongoing research program. These are typical deliverables; your proposal specifies the work and outputs included.

Plan a study or evaluation

A written plan before data collection

For teams preparing a study, grant application or program evaluation.

What you receive

  • A study or evaluation plan linking questions, outcomes and methods
  • Sampling recommendations and a sample-size or power-analysis memo
  • A statistical analysis plan with assumptions and data requirements
  • A meeting to review the plan and next steps
Analyze data and explain results

An analysis package your team can use

For organizations with data that need an answer for a report, paper, board or funder.

What you receive

  • A prepared analysis dataset with documented cleaning steps
  • Reproducible R code, results tables and figures
  • A written findings summary covering interpretation, assumptions and limitations
  • A handover meeting to explain the findings and how to use the files
Evaluate a questionnaire or scale

Evidence for how to interpret your scores

For teams developing or adapting a survey, or checking whether an existing measure fits their population and purpose.

What you receive

  • A measurement analysis plan based on the available data
  • A report on factor structure, reliability and the validity evidence assessed
  • Recommendations for items, scoring and appropriate uses of the results
  • Analysis code, relevant tables and an interpretation meeting
Build your team's skills

Practical methods training and code review

For research staff who need to understand their methods or maintain an analysis workflow.

What you receive

  • A workshop or coaching plan matched to your team's needs
  • Teaching materials, worked examples and reusable code
  • Guided practice or written feedback on an existing analysis
  • A summary of recommended next steps
Ongoing research partnership

Statistical support across the life of a project

For teams with repeated data releases, multiple studies or continuing reporting needs. The contract defines priorities, deliverables and the review schedule.

What you receive

  • An agreed work plan and scheduled methods discussions
  • Maintained analysis code and data-preparation workflows
  • Periodic results reports, tables and figures for the agreed milestones
  • Methods and results write-ups, with interpretation support for collaborators

We agree the research questions, available data, deliverables, timeline and fee before work begins. A focused project has a defined handover; an ongoing partnership has agreed priorities and reporting milestones. Discuss your project →
