    Fees:

    The Center for Research and Evaluation (CRE) offers a free one-hour initial consultation. After the initial consultation, an hourly rate of $110.00 will be charged. The investigator will be billed on a monthly basis until the project completion.
    
    Alternatively, the preferred method of payment is that the inevestigator retain a percentage of the faculty's time for services. A minimum of 5% effort independent of funding cuts is necessary.
    
    

    Estimates:

    A formal written estimate will be prepared after the initial consultation outlining the time necessary to complete the project, items needed by CRE faculty, project goals, and payment method.
    
    

    New Projects:

    In order to provide seamless support services, we require lead time of one month for new projects.
