Nineteen staff from THRU-ZIM, UZ-CTRC, OPHID and Zvitambo came together for two weeks of intensive training to master statistics for epidemiology with R. The course was facilitated by an international team of statisticians from the International Statistics and Epidemiology Partnership (ISEP) including Vicky Simms from the UK, Elia Magwaja from Tanzania, Peter Kaberia from APHRC in Kenya, and Levicatus Mugenyi from the MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Research Unit in Uganda, plus 6 facilitators from BRTI.
Before the course, the facilitators took part in a workshop to build their skills at teaching R, led by Lizzie George and Michelle Clements from the MRC Clinical Trials Unit at UCL. Thanks to UZ-CTRC for hosting the course and to our funders: ISEP, the Africa and Middle East Teaching Fund Initiative at UCL, and the EDCTP recognition prize for outstanding research team won by THRU-ZIM
