Informatics for Clinical Research

Course Description

This 7-week course provides an overview of the fields/disciplines of informatics in the support of biomedical research, focusing on clinical research. Using the research life cycle as its framework, the course demonstrates how informatics relates to each phase (hypothesis generation, team assembly and training, protocol development, permission seeking, execution, data collection, data analysis, results reporting and archiving). In each case, the core information problems will be articulated, current solutions discussed (As-Is), and gaps between need and tools articulated (To-Be).
