Events

The Biomedical Informatics team at Cincinnati Children’s and the University of Cincinnati offers several event series for the research community at Cincinnati Children's, the University of Cincinnati, and UC Health. All interested faculty, staff and students are welcome.

Friday Research Series

For the 2018-19 academic year, our research-focused speaker series will be offered on Fridays at 11 am. Topics will rotate between:

Hutton Lectures – formal presentations on current research in biomedical and clinical informatics
Clinical Informatics Focus Group – networking forum for clinical informatics researchers to discuss current research projects
Bioinformatics Focus Group – networking forum gathers researchers and students to focus on topics in molecular biology, molecular modeling, proteins and protein-protein interactions
Services Spotlights – Presentations by service teams within Biomedical Informatics and Information Services for the Cincinnati Children’s and the University of Cincinnati research communities.
Student Talks – Presentations by students affiliated with the Biomedical Informatics Graduate Program at the University of Cincinnati, in partnership with Cincinnati Children’s

Software Training Opportunities

We offer training on various software packages used for research purposes.

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). For more information on REDCap, please visit the Cincinnati REDCap Resource Center.
University of Cincinnati Libraries Workshops. The UC Libraries provide training on topics such as REDCap, MEDLINE, Programming in R, Prezi, Scopus and more. Check the library's workshop schedule here. All workshops are open to Cincinnati Children’s employees but you cannot register online. To register, call the library at 513-558-0127. If you have an urgent need for instruction on a class normally scheduled by the libraries, please contact Assistant Director Lori E. Harris.

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 T10.338.

Subscribe to the application specialists mailing list.
