Project: Design and implement DP Creator 2 Proof-of-Concept

Overview

• Design and implement a new, DP Creator application (DP Creator 2) that uses Python and Shiny.
• We plan to use an iterative design-development approach to rapidly create and deploy a DP Creator proof-of-concept, then collect user feedback. User feedback will inform requirements for future versions of the DP Creator application.
