The main focus of the heavy flavour programme at RHIC is to investigate the properties of the dense matter produced in heavy-ion collisions by studying its effect on open heavy flavour and quarkonia production. This in turn requires a detailed understanding of their production in elementary p+p collisions so that the dense matter effects can be later unfolded. In this paper, we present the first midrapidity cross section measurement of bottomonium at with the STAR experiment. We compare our results with perturbative QCD calculations. A brief status on the study of charmonium in STAR is given.
