Statistical and Scientific Data Analysis Tool

GraphPad Prism is a specialised scientific software platform used extensively across the University of Birmingham since around 2019, particularly within the Colleges of Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS), Life and Environmental Sciences (LES) and Medical and Dental Sciences (CMH). It is widely adopted for its powerful capabilities in statistical analysis, curve fitting and scientific graphing, supporting both teaching and research activities. The software combines robust biostatistics tools with publication-quality graphing features, enabling users to perform complex analyses without requiring programming knowledge. Prism supports a range of statistical tests, including t-tests, ANOVA, nonparametric comparisons and survival analysis, and offers intuitive data organisation through its structured data tables and analysis workflows. This renewal will ensure continued access to essential analytical tools, software updates and technical support, allowing researchers and students to maintain high standards of scientific rigour and reproducibility. Given the University's broad and long-standing use of GraphPad Prism, renewing the licence is vital to sustaining research excellence and supporting ongoing academic and scientific initiatives.
