Join TraCS to better understand the necessary vocabulary and fundamental concepts used to communicate with biostatisticians. Come and get a fresh introduction to statistical terms, methodologies and analysis strategies most commonly used in clinical/translational research.

This introduction will also include an overview of:

• Basic study designs used in clinical/translational research
• Statistical methodology definitions and examples
• Analysis strategies: Which statistical methods are appropriate for various types of data?

The course will also include two sessions in which participants will discuss peer-reviewed literature and learn to evaluate the choice of study design and analysis plan.

The webinar link will be emailed to you upon registration.

NIH is committed to advancing research and its data science efforts to end the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the larger NIH COVID-19 response, NIH leadership is designing a COVID-19 Clinical Data Hub – a loosely federated system, built by researchers for researchers, to quickly make available the data necessary to address pressing COVID-19 research questions.

The primary goals of this workshop are to:

• Review existing platforms within the NIH and how they approach COVID-19 use cases.
• Discuss the challenges and approaches to data harmonization, data source linkage, private/public data, and social determinants of health.
• Understand the challenges and approaches to data tracing, appropriate representation, and avoiding selection bias.
• Consider governance, internal review boards, data access committees, eligibility, and confidentiality in data use.
• Understand the global and societal impact of COVID-19 research.
• Develop an approach to data ingestion and harmonization that will position the NIH for success against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Once your digital health intervention is developed, the next step is delivering your intervention to participants.

RTI created Semblie, an online platform, that allows users to build, deliver, and track web-based interventions without the help of a developer or graphic artist. In the second installment of this 3-part webinar, sponsored by NC TraCS Inclusive Science Program, we will demonstrate how Semblie can help you in delivering your tailored, interactive educational content and digital interventions.

TraCS Tales of Translation features experienced scientists from academia and industry discussing the many twists and turns that are a part of research careers in the life sciences. Participating scientists will be asked to speak informally about their career decisions and pivot points, what translation means to them, and their advice for early stage researchers. This week's researcher is Joseph Ruiz, PhD.

Ruiz has over 30 years of experience as an investigator in academia and industry in the areas of embryonic and adult stem cell biology, genome engineering, hepatic cell biology, cell transplantation, and histotechnology. He obtained his PhD at UC San Diego and completed post-doctoral work at Columbia and Harvard Universities. Ruiz established and directed stem cell and genome engineering research programs at several biotech startup ventures in addition to his efforts at Enzerna (Vesta Therapeutics, Transposagen Biopharmaceuticals and Epigenos Biosciences). His background in both academia and the biotech industry has given him a unique perspective on the importance of developing comprehensive research plans while also driving research toward clinical or commercial applications.

There will be a Q&A session at the end.
