The Department of Pediatrics is now accepting applications for $5,000 in seed funding for promising clinical and health outcomes research projects focused on the health of children and their families. Project support is available to faculty, fellows, and/or residents with faculty mentors, with the goal of generating preliminary data for subsequent funding applications. Seed funding is available to support services from ITM’s partner Center for Research Informatics (CRI). Examples include data requests from the Clinical Research Data Warehouse (CRDW), data analysis by the Bioinformatics Core, or application development.
Essentials of Patient-Oriented Research (EPOR) is an introduction to clinical research course. The three-quarter series is presented by a diverse team of experts involved in the full spectrum of clinical research at the University of Chicago. The course serves as a cornerstone for young faculty interested in a career in clinical or translational research, as well as an important part of any fellow or K awardee training plan. The fall session focuses on Introductory Topics to Clinical Research.
Speaker: TBD
ITM partner the Center for Research Informatics (CRI), along with the Master of Science in Biomedical Informatics program, is launching the Computational Life Sciences Seminar Series (CLSSS). This seminar showcases initiatives that can help you access and utilize big data in your work. The seminar speakers will showcase some of these initiatives, involving both clinical/genomics data (like the Genomic Data Commons) and environmental data (like the OCC Environmental Data Commons). Come learn about opportunities to use data in your research and/or develop software that interacts with the commons framework.
Speakers:
Michael Fitzsimons, PhD
Director of User Services, Center for Data Intensive Science (CDIS)
Zac Flamig, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, CDIS
