Here's a summary of our training materials.

The image is a digital graphic titled "Epiverse training resources," displaying different training materials related to the Epiverse TRACE initiative. It consists of four sections:

e-Epi training kit in Español – A Spanish-language online learning strategy for infectious disease modeling in public health. Includes a tutorial titled "Análisis de Brotes y Modelamiento en Salud Pública," marked as "pre-alpha" in development.

Research Software Curriculum – Focuses on best practices for outbreak analytics using R, including tutorials on "Version Control with Git in RStudio" (alpha stage) and "Improve your code for Epidemic Analysis with R" (pre-alpha stage).

Tutorials in English – Covers outbreak analytics topics such as "Reading and cleaning data for outbreak analytics with R," "Real-time analysis and forecasting for outbreak analytics with R," and "Scenario modeling for outbreak analytics with R," all in the pre-alpha stage.

How-to guides in English – Contains "How-to guides for Outbreak Analytics with R," also in the pre-alpha stage.

Each section includes icons for accessing the site, repository, and instructor schedules, along with development stage labels. The design has a dark gray background with white text and blue highlights.

Excited to share that #EpiverseTRACE is now part of the Digital Public Goods Alliance #DPGA ecosystem! At Epiverse we believe open science and digital public goods are key to addressing global health challenges. Thanks, DPGA for recognizing our work! github.com/dpgalliance 🧵 report in thread (1/3)

Data.org: Contribution To The DPG Ecosystem In 2024. Epiverse-trace DPG Development. The Epiverse TRACE initiative focuses on building a high-quality, open-source, and transparent analytics toolkit. This effort helps to inform professionals working on epidemic responserespons ande, aimisng to increase the use of epidemiological data-analytics tools by field epidemiologists, ministries of health, researchers, and decision-makers to improve the reproducibility and scalability of epidemic response. The project emphasises community-driven software development, with a focus on user needs. Key principles include software development and training materials as co-creation, lean and agile collaboration, decentralising code ownership, code reviews, documentation and how they can be, being part of the digital public goods landscape, and community health. Epiverse TRACE also prioritises the integration of existing tools over developing new ones and uses open-source, liberal licenses for their tools. data.org is developing a suite of open-source R packages and training materials for outbreak analytics and aims to build upon open data standards and develop interoperability with existing data resources within the public health and data science ecosystem.
