GCR Statistics· est. 2019

Let's create Great Clinical Research

Free education and practical tools for clinicians who want research that is well-designed, properly analysed, and honestly interpreted.

Research methodology that earns trust

Too much clinical research fails not from lack of effort, but from weak design and misunderstood statistics. GCR Statistics exists to change that, with clear teaching and tools you can use on real projects.

Understand, don't memorise

Statistics explained the way clinicians actually need them, grounded in study design rather than formula sheets.

Design before you analyse

Guides and tools that help you plan rigorous studies, so your conclusions stand up to scrutiny.

Built by a clinician

Created by Andor van den Hoven, MD PhD MSc, an experienced physician-researcher who has helped many colleagues improve their research.
