Published 05 May 2017

n April 2017, the Public Health Dynamics Laboratory (PHDL) hosted three researchers, Saumyadipta Pyne, Meghana Aruru and Rashmi Pant from Hyderabad, India, for a three-day training workshop. This was the second of two workshops designed to train the Indian researchers in modeling and simulation for public health decision support in India. The focus was on hands-on-training in the use and application of FRED (Framework for Reconstructing Epidemiological Dynamics), an open source modeling system, as well as other tools developed by the PHDL. This workshop, a collaboration between SHARE INDIA/MediCiti Institute of Medical Sciences, the Indian Institute of Public Health, Hyderabad, and the Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, was part of an R25 award,"Empowering Indian Researchers with Computational Modeling Tools", supported by the Fogarty International Center of the National Institutes of Health.
