The UNC Program for Precision Medicine in Health Care (PPMH), School of Medicine Clinical Research Support Office (CRSO), and North Carolina Translational and Clinical Sciences (NC TraCS) Institute have developed a hands-on virtual workshop that will introduce participants to working with electronic health record (EHR) data. Content will include EHR data structure, how to query EHR data and interpret the results and limitations of those queries, how to deal with missing data, and an introduction to the Carolina Data Warehouse. During the workshop, participants will work with a de-identified EHR data set based on actual patient records. The workshop is aimed at UNC researchers, students, and clinicians who would like to use EHR data in research.

There is no charge to attend, but space is limited. We anticipate strong interest, and participants will be selected based upon review of relevance to their position and prior SQL/database experience. Additional considerations will be made to ensure diversity of personnel, roles, affiliations, etc. Email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Join a live training session for the N3C Data Enclave. Users of all types can learn how to navigate the N3C, utilize the Enclave and resources it provides, and learn how to better achieve their analytical goals. This orientation is split into 2 sessions – Session A and Session B. These orientations are ongoing and will alternate week by week. Session A is recommended before attending Session B

Session A is for those who want to learn about N3C, as well as how to engage with project teams and access the data.

Topics include:

• Provide a general overview of N3C, including goals, organization, and community resources such as Domain Teams and Data Liaisons.
• Introduces the 3 data tiers available and important considerations for research driven by the data harmonization process.
• Discusses resources for training and help, as well as the Data Use Request (DUR) process required for researcher access.

Note: This orientation is held alternating Tuesdays | 8-9:30am PT/11am-12:30pm ET

The NC State Proposal Development Unit (PDU) is hosting an information session to assess faculty interest in developing teams for recently announced NIH Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning Initiatives. This session will provide faculty an opportunity to network and review key elements of:

• Bridge2AI Program
• Digital Health Equity, Training, and Research Consortium

Both of these programs are seeking teams with diverse scientific interests (e.g. quantitative and computational science; biological, clinical, and other biomedical expertise; ethical, legal, and social analysis; training, partnership formation). Proposals due by the end of this summer.

Investigators from within the TraCS Partner institutions (UNC-Chapel Hill, NC State, N.C. A&T and RTI) are encouraged to attend this session and to consider inter-institutional collaborations in response to these funding opportunity announcements.
