Welcome to UCD CSTAR

UCD CSTAR is the Centre for Support and Training in Analysis and Research. It specialises in the biostatistical and methodological areas of health research, particularly quantitative.

UCD CSTAR, which was supported for its first 3 years by the Health Research Board, is now operating as an independent centre based in University College Dublin, Belfield. We offer a consultancy and training service to individuals and institutions carrying out health research in Ireland.

"The statistician who supposes that his main contribution to the planning of an experiment will involve statistical theory, finds repeatedly that he makes his most valuable contribution simply by persuading the investigator to explain why he wishes to carry out the experiment" 
Gertrude Cox (1900 – 1978)

 **Our R course will run from 19-21 Mar 2024! Registration is full and more info can be found HERE.**
