Project Description
This partnership between Washington University in St. Louis, University of Rwanda (UR), and African Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) in Kigali, Rwanda, proposes to develop a comprehensive research training program in data science. A high prevalence of communicable and noncommunicable diseases in Rwanda forecasts a perfect public health storm. The project will recruit masters and doctorate students, postdocs, and junior faculty trainees to establish a sustainable program for training, research, mentoring, and career development to position UR and AIMS as national and regional African leaders and a global center for data science for health in Rwanda.
