Launching the New Digital Research Education

Aug 29, 2022 | News

Our team at CIDH designed the Digital Research Education (DRE) to help research investigators, study staff, and administrators leverage resources across Mass General Brigham to further digital health research. DRE aims to improve accessibility to Mass General Brigham’s plentiful resources by making it easier to understand the roles of various departments that support digital health research. Researchers will now be able to conveniently access these resources in one place.

The three-part education series will take place in February and March 2023. Participants will receive access to helpful tools and learn about the steps of research, from scoping projects to creating protocols to implementation and execution.
