We are pleased to introduce research eConsults for SGIM members!
Research eConsults are 30 minute consults on a question related to your research or a research method that cannot be answered by a quick web search or by a colleague at your institution. This service is provided to SGIM members by SGIM members.
The goal of research eConsults is to help SGIM members connect with each other when they need specific guidance on research related topics.
Questions should be specific and focused (e.g., “What is your experience with using the National Death Index?” “What are common mistakes made my new investigators when analyzing x dataset?”). Please also let us know if there is a specific SGIM member with whom you would like to be connected. Below are methods and topic areas where our members have expertise.
