Interface for 'All of Us' Researcher Workbench.

allofus R Package

The goal of the allofus R package is to streamline the use of R within the All of Us Researcher Workbench. It has 4 primary goals:

1. Facilitate the use of popular tidyverse ecosystem of R packages on the Researcher Workbench
2. Help researchers more efficiently and accurately extract and synthesize survey data and EHR data
3. Increase the interoperability between tools created by the Observational Health Data Sciences and Informatics community (OHDSI) for the OMOP CDM) and the Researcher Workbench
4. Make connecting to the database and managing files simple

The allofus R package was developed by Louisa Smith and Rob Cavanaugh at Northeastern University and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the All of Us Research Program.
