Cost

There is no charge for using the BERD Resource; however, access is limited. To ensure that all investigators who can benefit from this resource are scheduled in a timely manner, BERD Resource consultants give priority to new and developing investigators and first-time users.

Investigators with needs outside the scope of the BERD Resource, including the need for ongoing collaboration through regularly scheduled meetings, may be referred to the Department of Quantitative Health Sciences for additional support on a case-by-case basis. Log in to the Mayo Clinic network to view the department website.
