Research IT Information & Exchange Series
Goal: To educate pediatric researchers on the research IT and informatics resources and expertise available to facilitate their research and to identify areas where we can enhance IT methods to better support research.
Format: One hour sessions led by subject matter experts to present information on the current services and expertise available.
Intended audience: Researchers with an interest in capitalizing on research IT tools to make their research better. Also, researchers who are interested in using Big Data and Healthcare Analytic approaches in their research.
