Data Science for Health Discovery and Innovation in Africa Coordinating Centre (DS-I Africa CC)

数据科学促进非洲健康发现和创新协调中心 (DS-I非洲CC)将作为一个战略枢纽，它将使用有效的通信， 协调和管理，以发展具有凝聚力和生产力的跨学科 网络。DS-I非洲协调委员会将努力支持DS-I非洲指导委员会 拥有领导财团所需的必要信息和工具，由 总体目标和循证决策导航。劳作 在泛大陆的跨学科网络中将是具有挑战性的，然而它的多样性 将为数据科学家和社区提供许多学习的机会 其他并开发创新的健康解决方案。协调中心负责人 调查员(PI)将直接与DS-I非洲PI及其附属机构进行沟通 促进跨项目参与。DS-I非洲CC团队和NIH项目工作人员 将与工作组主席和财团成员直接沟通 协调方式，并将接受标准操作程序的培训，并提供 拥有执行任务所需的工具和资源。消委会将提供 对工作组成员的培训和支持，包括工作组主席的领导技能培训 并引导他们实现他们的目标。此外，消委会还在 与ODSP的合作将为更大的联合体提供培训支持 使用多种教学方法，最大限度地扩大覆盖范围。DS-I非洲CC总部设在 开普敦大学将利用机构和网络资源， 在协调几个大洲的大型网络方面有经验，人力 资源、数字和网络工具、现有利益相关者网络、知识 政策、指导方针、研究协议及其在11个以上领域的工作经验 非洲国家，往往处于具有挑战性的条件下。消委会将使用战略 外联、社区参与和沟通计划，以提高认识， 鼓励社区参与性研究，促进DS-I非洲愿景和 任务。

The Data Science for Health Discovery and Innovation in Africa Coordinating Centre (DS-I Africa CC) will serve as a strategic hub which will use efficient communication, coordination and administration to develop a cohesive and productive interdisciplinary network. The DS-I Africa CC will strive to support the DS-I Africa Steering Committee with the necessary information and tools required to lead the Consortium, guided by the overarching goals and navigating by evidenced based decision making. Working in a pan-continental interdisciplinary network will be challenging, however its diversity will offer many opportunities for data scientists and communities to learn from each other and develop innovative health solutions. The coordinating centre principal investigator (PI) will communicate directly with DS-I Africa PI’s and their affiliates and facilitate cross project engagements. The DS-I Africa CC team and NIH Program Staff will communicate directly with the working group chairs and consortium members in a coordinated manner and will be trained in standard operating procedures and provided with the tools and resources they need to perform their tasks. The CC will provide training and support to WG members including leadership skills training for WG chairs and steer them towards accomplishing their objectives. In addition, the CC in collaboration with the ODSP will provide training support to the greater consortium using multiple instruction methods to maximize reach. The DS-I Africa CC based at the University of Cape Town will leverage institutional and network resources, experience in coordinating large networks across several continents, human resources, digital and network tools, existing stakeholder networks, knowledge of policies, guidelines, research agreements and its experience in working in over eleven African countries, often under challenging conditions. The CC will use strategic outreach, community engagement and communication plans to raise awareness, encourage community participatory research and promote the DS-I Africa vision and mission.
