Collaborative Data Services

Collaborative Data Services (CDS) is a thirty-two person shared resource of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the FHCRC/UW Cancer Consortium. We are housed in the FHCRC, Public Health Sciences Division.

CDS’ mission is to provide fee-for-service data management, interviewing, study participant recruitment, and custom technology development to projects and programs throughout the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the FHCRC/UW Cancer Consortium, Seattle Children’s Hospital & Regional Medical Center, and for select outside customers.

Our professionally diverse staff brings many years of experience to a wide variety of research and administrative projects, and our fee-for-service pricing keeps costs low. We customize our services to fit your needs, large or small. CDS offers a broad array of services, including telephone interviewing, data management, technology development, and project coordination, to fully or partially support your project.

Estimates are free, so whether you need information for a grant or project proposal, staffing for a whole project, or just a few hours of assistance, we can help.
