Consultations
- Your initial 30-minute consultation is free
- An estimate of anticipated costs will be provided to investigators prior to initiation of work
- Grant writing or editing requests and manuscript revisions will be subject to recharge
- Please fill out a consultation request form and we will contact you to schedule a meeting
Rates
| Organization | Hourly Rate | Operational Charge |
|---|---|---|
| UCSD internal (with chartstring) | $180 | $900 |
| External non-profit | $261 | $1305 |
| External for-profit | $522 | $2610 |
Effective January 1, 2022: To allow us to continue to serve the UCSD faculty at a heavily subsidized rate made possible by the VCHS and ACTRI, an operational charge will be applied at project start and after every 120 hours. Please contact Dr. Brin Rosenthal, Associate Director for Research of CCBB, if you have any questions.

Data storage and transfer services
Estimates below are shown for the UCSD internal rate. All projects are subject to operational charges as listed above.
Data storage
CCBB offers data storage on Amazon AWS S3:
- Projects with total data size < 500 GB:
- $1080 for first 3 years of storage. This includes one retrieval of data.
- $540 for every additional 3 years of storage
- $360 each for additional data retrievals
- Projects with total data size > 500 GB: custom pricing.
Alternatively, we offer CCBB help with set-up of new PI AWS account. Includes data transfer to new account. No ongoing support provided after transfer. $900
GEO upload
CCBB offers a GEO data upload service, including preparing required files and metadata:
- If CCBB does not already store the data and metadata: $2160-$4320
- If CCBB stores data and metadata: $2160
Additional Services
- Custom analytical pipelines/algorithm development
- Grant consultations: please provide as much notice as possible if you require assistance writing a custom section for a grant proposal
- Personalized training & tutoring
- Long-term collaborations: Please email for more information
CTRI Afflilates
UC San Diego Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute (ACTRI) is pleased to announce the addition of a new Vouchers category to support Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CCBB) services. This new level of support for CCBB includes three funding tiers, ranging from $500 to $10,000.
