Scientific Consulting

Senior-level expertise, applied directly to your problem

Many organizations encounter scientific and analytical challenges that don't warrant hiring a full-time specialist — but require genuine expertise to solve correctly. We provide on-demand access to PhD and MSc-level scientists with backgrounds in computational biology, machine learning, and data science.

Why Expert Consulting

When you need more than a generalist IT firm can offer

Consulting from a generalist IT firm can address process and tooling questions, but it rarely addresses the underlying scientific or analytical challenge. When a research institution needs help interpreting sequencing results, or a business needs someone who understands statistical validity — general IT consulting isn't enough.

AGRV Solutions bridges computer science and the biological and data sciences. Our founders have hands-on research experience in molecular biology, ecological modeling, machine learning, and data infrastructure — applied directly to every client engagement.

🔬

Academic-Grade Rigor

Our founders come from research environments where statistical validity and methodological soundness are non-negotiable — we bring that standard to every engagement.

🎯

Domain-Specific, Not Generic

We work in health sciences, computational biology, agriculture, ecology, and data science — not "all industries." That depth means we understand your problem faster.

💬

Hourly or Fixed-Scope

A single afternoon of expert review, a week of embedded analysis, or a multi-month research partnership — we scope to what you actually need.

Core Strengths

Expertise that crosses disciplines


🎓

Senior-Level Expertise

Every consulting engagement is handled directly by our founders — a PhD scientist and an MSc data scientist. No work is delegated to junior staff or subcontractors. You get the most experienced people on your problem, every time.

🔬

Science Meets Engineering

We sit at the intersection of biological science and software engineering — a rare combination that allows us to bridge the gap between domain knowledge and technical implementation. We can both understand the science and build the tools to advance it.

📈

Measurable Outcomes

We focus on results that can be acted on — reports you can publish, decisions you can defend, workflows you can repeat. Every engagement produces documented, reproducible work with clear methodology that you own and can audit.

What We Deliver

Four consulting disciplines


01

Operations & Workflow Optimization

Assessment and redesign of data workflows and operational processes to eliminate bottlenecks, reduce error rates, and improve throughput. We analyze your current processes, identify inefficiencies, and recommend — or build — improvements with measurable impact on output and staff time.

02

Statistical Modeling & Interpretation

Design and application of statistical models appropriate to your data and research questions, including selection of the right test or approach, validation of assumptions, interpretation of results, and preparation of findings for internal reports, grant applications, or peer-reviewed publication.

03

Health Sciences & Biological Data

Specialized consulting in molecular biology workflows, next-generation sequencing (NGS) design and analysis, HIPAA-compliant health data modeling, and the statistical interpretation of clinical or laboratory data. We bring research-grade scientific rigor to health data challenges.

04

Environmental & Agricultural Analytics

Application of quantitative methods to environmental monitoring datasets, agricultural field data, wildlife survey records, and water management data. We help translate raw field observations into defensible, actionable metrics suitable for regulatory reporting, grant applications, or conservation decision-making.

Our Approach

Domain knowledge backed by technical capability

We apply specialized scientific and analytical tools appropriate to each domain. Below is a representative overview of the methodologies and platforms we work with across our consulting disciplines.

Who This Is For

Common scenarios we solve


University Research Lab

NGS experimental design and analysis pipeline

A molecular biology lab is designing a next-generation sequencing study but lacks in-house bioinformatics expertise. We design the experimental protocol, build the analysis pipeline, and interpret the results in the context of the research question.

Healthcare Organization

HIPAA-compliant patient data modeling

A regional clinic wants to analyze longitudinal patient data to identify outcome predictors — but needs a statistical approach that is both scientifically valid and compliant with HIPAA data handling requirements for analysis performed on-premises.

Environmental Agency

Wildlife survey data analysis and reporting

A state wildlife agency has accumulated years of survey data across multiple species and habitats. We design a quantitative analysis framework that produces defensible population trend estimates and generates outputs suitable for regulatory filings.

FAQ

Common questions


Yes. We have experience handling health sciences data subject to HIPAA technical safeguards. For these engagements, we work entirely within your HIPAA-compliant environment, sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) as required, and design all workflows so that protected health information remains within your authorized infrastructure at all times.
Yes — this is something we actively support for research institution clients. We can assist with statistical power analysis, preliminary data analysis, and the description of analytical methods sections in NSF, NIH, USDA, and state grant applications. We can also review existing grant proposals for methodological soundness and suggest improvements.
We offer both models. Hourly consulting runs at $120–$250 per hour depending on the domain and expertise required, with a defined scope agreed before work begins. For longer-term engagements, we can structure a fixed-scope contract with clear deliverables and a project-based fee. We always provide a written estimate before any billable work commences.
Absolutely. Many of our consulting engagements involve working alongside your existing researchers, analysts, or technical staff — contributing specific expertise where it's needed, then stepping back. We adapt our level of involvement to what your team needs and can provide knowledge transfer so your staff can continue independently after the engagement ends.
Yes — this interdisciplinary space is specifically where our team is strongest. Our founding scientists have worked at the intersection of biological research and computational methods for years, and we actively seek projects where deep domain knowledge in biology or ecology needs to be combined with software, modeling, and data engineering to produce real results.
