Course Info

This course includes 1 attempt.

This course is part of a series of courses for the Informatics Technology for Cancer Research (ITCR) called the Informatics Technology for Cancer Research Education Resource. This material was created by the (ITCR Training Network (ITN) which is a collaborative effort of researchers around the United States to support cancer informatics and data science training through resources, technology, and events. This initiative is funded by the following grant: National Cancer Institute (NCI) UE5 CA254170. Our courses feature tools developed by ITCR Investigators and make it easier for principal investigators, scientists, and analysts to integrate cancer informatics into their workflows. Please see our website at www.itcrtraining.org for more information.

This course aims to provide research leaders with guidance about:  

 1) How to effectively lead and support team members on informatics projects  

 2) How to perform informatics projects well  

 3) How to support informatics collaborators, mentees, and employees

 4) How to better support diversity within your team

 5) Tools that can help you perform informatics projects well

The course is intended for researchers who lead research teams or collaborate with others to perform multidisciplinary work. We have especially aimed the material for those with moderate to no computational experience who may lead or collaborate with informatics experts. However this material is also applicable to informatics experts working with others who have less computational experience.

Students will be graded based on their performance on short multiple choice quizzes.
