Enhancing Infrastructure
I.AIM is building the infrastructure necessary to accelerate innovation in a representative workforce. The Health Data Gymnasium will combine a robust data library with elements of a data academy welcoming to researchers at all skill levels and backgrounds.
An ecosystem supporting training, tools, and data is necessary to support strong workforce development, accelerate operations, and remove barriers for research and innovation. The Health Data Gymnasium combines the rigor/public trust of academia with the scale and efficient data handling of industry.
