How CenterStat Workshops Empower Researchers at Every Level
In the ever-evolving world of scientific research, having the right analytical tools—and the confidence to use them—is essential. At CenterStat, we understand that researchers face complex questions that demand rigorous methods and practical, real-world applications. That’s why our workshops are designed not just to educate, but to empower. Whether you’re a graduate student stepping into your first research project or a seasoned investigator looking to sharpen your quantitative edge, CenterStat training sessions provide the guidance, clarity, and confidence needed to thrive.
Built for All Stages of the Research Journey
One of the greatest strengths of our workshops is their accessibility across experience levels. We’ve seen participants ranging from doctoral students and postdocs to established professors and NIH-funded investigators. Each of our programs—whether focused on multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling, longitudinal data analysis, or machine learning—is structured to accommodate varying levels of statistical background while still diving deep into theory and application.
“The key strength was the clarity of communication and the balance between technicalities and intuition. Dr. Curran & Dr. Bauer did not shy away from technical aspects of the content but also communicated about them as intuitively as possible.”

Practical Skills You Can Use Immediately
CenterStat workshops are not passive lectures—they’re dynamic, hands-on experiences. Each session blends foundational theory with real data exercises, ensuring that what you learn translates directly to your work. Whether you’re writing a grant, preparing a manuscript, or designing a study, our goal is to give you tools that make an impact now.
“Craig is easily one of the best statistics professors I have ever had. He has taken an incredibly complex topic that I have previously struggled to understand and apply to my own data and made it possible for me to feel confident in using and interpreting the analyses on my own

Expert Instructors Who Are Also Practitioners
Our instructors are internationally recognized scholars who don’t just teach statistics—they use them every day in their own research. They know the challenges of applying quantitative methods in real-life scenarios, and they bring that experience into every lecture and lab session.
“This is the most interactive online workshop I have ever attended. It kept me very engaged, motivated to learn, and excited to apply techniques and discuss with the group. Greg and Emily are very knowledgeable, passionate, and eager to share their knowledge with attendees. They are fantastic at answering questions promptly, and they made the entire experience conversational, interactive, and exciting.”

A Supportive Learning Community
When you join a CenterStat workshop, you’re not just gaining new knowledge—you’re joining a network of fellow researchers who are equally passionate about improving their craft. Our sessions foster collaboration, discussion, and long-term academic connections.
We also offer ongoing support after the workshop ends, including access to course materials, helpful guides, and recommendations for continuing education.
Results That Speak for Themselves
CenterStat alumni have gone on to publish in top-tier journals, secure major grants, and teach advanced methods at leading institutions. We take pride in helping researchers unlock their full potential by providing training that’s relevant, rigorous, and rooted in real-world impact.
“This is my third C&B workshop and I’ve really enjoyed all of them. I especially appreciate the attention to the algebra behind models–they’ve help me understand other/new-to-me approaches in method papers.”
