  6. Quality assurance of analyses for others.
  7. Ensure long-term analysis support for complex projects.
  8. Provide ongoing statistical support for larger projects and research groups.
  9. Develop tools for more specialized analyses.
  10. Develop relevant expertise within research environments through courses and workshops.
