More about the All of Us Research Academy:
The Researcher Academy is a comprehensive program that provides training and technical assistance for researchers conducting research with the Workbench. On this cloud-based analytics platform, registered researchers can access participant data. The Researcher Academy also supports peer-to-peer learning and network-building among researchers and students from communities that are underrepresented in the biomedical workforce.
How does the All of Us Researcher Academy HBCU Road Tour connect to the work CCPH does?
