Abstract:
|
Currently, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has two major consulting groups associated with the Department of Statistics: one in biostatistics and one in the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS). The funding model for the CALS facility was based on having several jointly appointed faculty and funding "off the top" for graduate student and other expenses. This model has been in existence for more than 25 years, although recent events have necessitated changes. I will describe the historical model, discuss the changes we have implemented, and try to forecast what might happen in the future.
