An important part of NIH grant proposals is the Data Management and Sharing Plan (DMSP) – a short document that describes what data will be acquired by the proposed work and how it’ll be kept, used, and made available to others. For funded grants, the contents of this plan become ...

Your research data is important. In this session, we’ll discuss how to properly store, organize, and document your work to ensure that important data isn’t lost and that you are meeting expectations set by the parties that fund and publish your research. After this session, you’ll have the tools required ...

Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Part 1 of this interactive, hands-on session introduces students to the basic functionalities of Python as students will learn foundational programming skills and gain experience in applying Python to real-world scenarios that they can then use in the context of their own work. ...

Part 2 of this interactive, hands-on session builds on what participants learned in Part 1, and it continues to expand foundational programming skills and practical applications of Python that students can apply in the context of their own work. Learning objectives: 1) automate tasks with loops; 2) perform conditional operations; ...
