The Statistics and Research Methodology Unit provides proposal development and post-award support in the conceptualization of the research design and methodology and the selection and execution of data analyses. Unit personnel are experienced statisticians who specialize in experimental, quasi-experimental, and correlational design methodology; measurement; and cross-sectional, longitudinal, and correlational data analytic approaches (e.g., regression, basic analyses of variance, structural equation modeling, growth modeling, hierarchical linear modeling). Unit personnel are available to assist faculty affiliates throughout grant proposal development and writing and with data analysis after the grant is funded.

CYFS research faculty coordinate the provision of statistical or methodological support for faculty affiliates. The following are the unit's key personnel:
