Fundamentals of Health Sciences Research Data Management

This online class meets the NLM/NIH strategic plan goal of accelerating discovery and advancing health through data driven research in order to increase health information access and use.

The class is designed to provide information professionals, working in health sciences, with an introduction to research data management. The primary goal of this course is to improve your knowledge and skills in research data management and enable you to add or enhance research data management training and services at your institution.

This 8-week course will have participants read foundational texts in research data management, engage in discussions with other participants, complete assignments designed to improve knowledge and skills, and develop a final project of teaching a concept from the course or delivering a presentation on library roles in research data management.

Participants will work with course facilitators and community experts to complete course assignments and gain an understanding of the role of research data management in libraries.

When this class is offered, participation will be capped at 60, so if you are interested in applying to register for this course, please commit to spending 3 total hours per week engaging with the course readings and assignments.
