- The Center for Open Science is giving away $1,000 to 1,000 researchers who pre-register their research before they publish. This opportunity is available to projects that are entering the data collection phase. Learn more here.
- The BD2K Training Coordinating Center has been creating and populating the Educational Resource Discovery Index (ERuDite), a database of 10,000+ data science educational resources from collective BD2K activities and from around the web. To access the database, follow the link and find the ERuDite search box at the top of the page. To contribute feedback, contact John Van Horn at: jvanhorn@usc.edu.
Data Science Events:
- Registration is open for the California Big Data to Knowledge Workshop taking place in Huntington Beach, CA September 15th, 2017. Learn more and register for the workshop here.
- The BD2K-supported Mobilize Center is holding a symposium on “Data Science in Biomechanics” at the 26th Congress of the International Society of Biomechanics (ISB) taking place July 23-27, 2017 in Brisbane, Australia. The symposium will focus on the current applications, challenges, and opportunities of data science methods in biomechanics research.
- The National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR) is holding a one-week training course and boot camp on “Precision Health: From ‘Omics’ to Data Science, August 7-11, 2017on the NIH Main Campus in Bethesda, MD. Registration is now closed. To join the waitlist, visit: http://www.ninr.nih.gov/bootcamp.
