NC TraCS Institute is sponsoring a Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) course on July 15-17, 2025, from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m. each day. This course covers all NIH-required topics for the first phase of responsible conduct of research training.
Individuals who have had prior RCR training may volunteer to serve as discussion leaders for the course to document ongoing RCR exposure. For example, if you are a K Scholar who needs ongoing RCR experiences for your grant, this an opportunity that would qualify.

Join the TraCS Data Science Lab for a seminar given by Peter Leese exploring the foundational elements of healthcare cost data—a critical component in analyzing and managing healthcare delivery. We will introduce key concepts such as charges, costs, and reimbursements, clarifying how each plays a role in the financial landscape of healthcare services. We will delve into the structure and purpose of charge codes, revenue codes, and Diagnosis-Related Groups (DRGs), and examine how these coding systems contribute to cost tracking, billing, and payment processes. By the end of the seminar, attendees will have a clearer understanding of how to navigate and interpret healthcare data related to billing and reimbursement particularly focused on research and public health.
