The Department of Electronic Data Processing (EDP) provides computerized services for all departments in the TRC. TRC departments have direct access to the data with their personal computers (PC). The EDP division is continuing to give data management support including data entry/verification to various studies undertaken in the Centre. Also, this division generates reports and prepares pre-printed forms for field activity of large scale epidemiological studies and supply data tabulations for monitoring the studies and publication of research work.
