NC TraCS Data Science Seminar Series: Introduction to OMOP @UNC for research

Please join the NC TraCS Institute as Peter Leese, MSPH, the director of the TraCS Data Science Lab, introduces the OMOP common data model. OMOP is the most dominant of the common data models for clinical data. Increasingly, it is the required data model for participating in national, multi-site data networks. This month's seminar will provide an overview of OMOP and context for using this data model for research at UNC and beyond. A portion of the seminar time will be focused on the OMOP resources and tools available at UNC. Future seminars in this series will go deeper into specific OMOP topics, such as understanding and navigating OMOP vocabulary.

Seminars in the NC TraCS Data Science Seminar Series will 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 will be held 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.

Using GenAI to win STTR and SBIR Government Grants

Through a competitive awards-based program, STTR and SBIR federal grants enable small businesses to explore their technological potential and open new opportunities to profit from its commercialization. However, it can be difficult for first-time applicants to get their foot in the door, between sorting through guidelines, requirements, and deadlines, and trying to locate successful examples. GrantScout is automating grant search, writing, and submission. The tool uses traditional deep learning methods and generative AI to unlock funding for everyone. Join GrantScout founders Felicia Chen and Jennifer Tang as they present how the government provides over two million grants for small businesses, the ways that their team fine-tunes their own models to create strong technical proposals, and lessons they’ve learned from past experiences that helped them build the platform.
