Hello HIFA colleagues,
Please find information below about the WHO HRP Statistics Portal, which is inviting interested users to join and learn more about the available topics.
What is HRP?
HRP is the main instrument within the United Nations system for research in human reproduction and is based at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. It supports and coordinates research on a global scale, synthesizes research through systematic reviews of literature, builds research capacity in low- and lower-middle-income countries, and develops dissemination tools to make efficient use of ever-increasing research information.
What is the HRP Statistics Portal?
The HRP Statistics Portal is an online platform for accessing technical material and information regarding data management and statistical consideration topics, in addition to international standard guidelines for ethics, conducting, monitoring, and reporting of research. It was designed to assist junior researchers, project managers, research collaborators, and professional staff, particularly those directly involved in planning, conducting and overseeing research studies, to refresh their basic statistical and data management skills.
How do I access the HRP Statistics Portal?
The Portal is available at the link below:
