Software Training Opportunities

The Division of Biomedical Informatics offers training on various software packages used for research purposes. Upcoming training events include:

REDCap. REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a secure, web-based application designed exclusively to support data capture for research studies, allowing users to build and manage online surveys and databases quickly and securely. Various levels of training are offered on an ongoing basis for researchers at Cincinnati Children's and the University of Cincinnati. For a complete schedule of upcoming training opportunities, visit UC's Center for Clinical & Translational Science & Training (CCTST).

University of Cincinnati Libraries Workshops. The UC Libraries offer an array of workshops covering library resources, data management, and software applications. To see complete workshop offerings including course names, descriptions, dates, and times, visit the registration link. Cincinnati Children's employees are eligible to attend the classes. Visitors with a UC Central login can register themselves: click on the "Register" button for the class you wish to attend, login with you Central Login username and password, and click "Register." You will receive an automatic email confirmation of your registration. If you do not have a UC Central login, email Lauren Mills from your Cincinnati Children's email account to register.

Application Specialist Meetings

Biomedical Informatics sponsors a monthly meeting for application specialists at Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation. The goal of these meetings is to keep everyone updated on the latest resources and services available to Cincinnati Children's researchers and to discuss any research IT-related issues.

All research application specialists are welcome to attend. Meetings typically are scheduled for the first Wednesday of every month at 10:30 am in T10.134. Subscribe to our mailing list to receive information about upcoming meeting dates and topics.
