The NICHD Sponsored Social Networks and Health methods workshop is a week-long workshop aimed at introducing attendees to topics in social network analysis and how they can be applied to research on health and health policy. We alternate foundational and advanced topics annually; this is an “advanced topics” year, so we assume basic knowledge of networks and network methods. The advanced workshop is intended to push the boundaries of what we know and how we do network analysis in support of health research.
