The C+M Center is pleased to offer consultation services to NYU Silver faculty. These sessions are designed as a supportive space to explore questions about data science research design and methods (such as natural language processing, machine learning, and large language models), as well as project management topics (including accessing big data, data sharing, and IRB considerations).
Our goal is to make these conversations approachable and useful—most questions can be addressed in about 30 minutes, with the option to schedule additional time if needed.
