This TOP sprint, led by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in collaboration with the U.S. Census Bureau, aims to tackle four challenges that all center on using data to improve health. Through the development of digital products and tools, teams in this sprint will strengthen the healthcare ecosystem’s ability to ensure the best possible care for patients and communities.
Join us for one of two upcoming informational webinars to learn more about this sprint, the problem statements, roles — solutions teams, user advocates, product advisors, and data stewards — and next steps for getting involved!
