The Data Science Service Center
Your On-Campus Data Science Partner: From Data to DiscoveryThe Data Science Service Center (DSSC) provides expert, project-based support to help you tackle your biggest data challenges. Our team of data scientists offers comprehensive services in data analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, tailored for Texas A&M researchers and faculty. We handle the technical data execution so you can focus on the research.
How It Works
We make it easy to get the expert help you need.We are a fee-for-service provider, delivering specialized analytical and AI expertise. We do not provide computing resources, technology management, or long-term services, but we can help you connect and leverage existing resources.
Who We Serve
We currently offer services to internal Texas A&M University (including associated campuses and the Health Science Center),
Texas A&M AgriLife, and Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station staff and faculty.
Pricing
Services are offered in affordable and flexible five-hour blocks (“Units”) at a rate of $500 per block. This fee covers the time and effort of our data science technicians, allowing you to access affordable assistance as needed for your projects.
How to Go from Data to Discovery
Don’t wait to start your AI or data science project.Submit your request
Complete our brief New Client Intake Form to share your project goals.
Free initial consultation
We’ll schedule a free one-hour meeting to scope your project, understand your needs, and identify the resources required.
Get a personalized plan
We’ll draft a “Letter of Engagement” (LoE) that outlines the project scope, deliverables, timeline, and costs. There are no hidden surprises.
We get to work
Once you approve the LoE, our expert technicians will execute the plan and provide you with bi-weekly progress updates.
Our Areas of Expertise
We offer comprehensive, expert support across the entire data lifecycle.Not sure where to begin?
We specialize in turning research ideas into concrete, actionable plans. We help you scope your project by assessing data readiness, framing your research goals into computational problems, and designing a complete data workflow from acquisition to reporting
Strong analysis requires a solid foundation.
We build that foundation by transforming raw files into clean, analysis-ready datasets using repeatable code. Our expertise includes cleaning and standardizing data, creating domain-informed derived variables for modeling, and producing clear data dictionaries and documentation.
We help you uncover the stories hidden in your data.
Our team conducts everything from exploratory analysis and regression to specialized time-series, spatial, text, and network analyses tailored to your domain. We also apply simulation-based approaches to quantify uncertainty and create publication-grade plots or interactive dashboards to help you communicate your findings effectively.
Harness the power of AI in your research.
We provide end-to-end support for AI and machine learning projects. Our team can develop, tune, and validate predictive models, including error analysis and fairness diagnostics, to ensure their robust and responsible use.
Elevate your course materials.
We partner with faculty to bring cutting-edge data science into the classroom. Our team can provide technical expertise to help develop course assets such as codebooks, case-based materials, and tutorials on topics such as AI model evaluation and reproducible analysis.
We are a cross-domain hub for data science Innovation
We break down silos by fostering collaborations between researchers, operational units, and our team of data science experts. Our reach extends across Texas A&M University and globally, as we actively partner with a wide array of organizations.
