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.

Introduction to healthcare cost, charge, and reimbursement data

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.

Speaker:
Peter Leese, MSPH
Director, TraCS Data Science Lab

Seminars in the NC TraCS Data Science Lab Seminar Series cover a range of topics related to health care data science, clinical data, data engineering, and working in these areas at UNC-Chapel Hill. These hybrid seminars are held monthly on the third Tuesday of each month from 12:30-1:30 p.m. in the NC TraCS suite on the 2nd floor of Brinkhous-Bullitt or via Zoom.

Building Bridges: Data Systems for Research and Evaluation

With a showcase of examples, learn how practical applications of integrating data tools and processes can build systems that facilitate research and evaluation. Examples will range from recruiting for clinical trials to evaluating published research impact. Webinar presented by Marlena Kuhn, MPH.

Predictive Artificial Intelligence and Automation Tools

This is the fifth session in the Systematic Review Summer Workshop Series offered by the UNC Health Sciences Library. This session will provide an overview of machine learning and automation tools available via the UNC Health Sciences Library for systematic reviews and other comprehensive literature searches. These tools help research teams save time by prioritizing literature search results and reducing the number of studies that must be screened manually for relevance.

This workshop is being offered remotely via Zoom only. Registrants will receive a Zoom link; those on the waitlist will not receive a Zoom link unless they are bumped up to a registered spot.
