R Data Science Education

Description

The rapid collection, analysis, and communication of data is a cornerstone of public health.
However, a variety of bottlenecks obstruct the traditional pipelines that should produce
adequately trained health data analysts in many countries.

The GRAPH Network has received a grant to build and deliver online courses that will
