Research Data Sharing and Re-Use: Practical Implications for Data Citation Practice that Benefit Researchers

This webinar will highlight the findings of a recent study on the characteristics of data sharing, reuse, and citation, and it will provide practical recommendations for formalized citation practices that benefit the researchers who decide to do so.

Research Ethics Forum: Ethical Challenges in Trials of Human Genome Editing and Gene Therapy

In her 60-minute presentation, Professor Charo addresses Ethical Challenges in Trials of Human Genome Editing and Gene Therapy, as gene therapy and genome editing clinical trials involve ethical challenges not always found in other areas of research.

Research Ethics Forum: Returning Research Results and Incidental Findings: The Challenge of Translational Science

During this 60-minute forum we discuss how the last decade has seen a revolution in research involving human participants; return of research results and incidental or secondary findings (RoR) is now routinely considered. This session addresses the current state of this transformation, ongoing debates, and the central role of RoR in translational science.

Utilize Digital and Social Media Data for Your Research

Today, over 80 percent of Americans seek health information online and nearly 70 percent of all Internet users in the United States use digital and social media. These numbers are increasing, even among diverse and underserved populations. This trend provides huge opportunities for researchers.

Virtual REDCap Workshop

In this workshop, you will learn to create and build your database from the REDCap Toolkit, learn to use your database including data entry, retrieval, and scheduling, and more.

What We Can Learn About Successful Citizen Science from Microbiome Research

Citizen Science typically refers to research collaborations between scientists and volunteers, particularly (but not exclusively) to expand opportunities for scientific data collection and to provide access to scientific information for community members. Dr. Knight will discuss the American Gut Project (http://americangut.org) that was launched in November 2012 to discover the kinds of microbes and microbiomes “in the wild” via a self-selected citizen-scientist cohort. The result is a database that characterizes the diversity of the industrialized human gut microbiome on an unprecedented scale; reveals novel relationships with health, lifestyle, and dietary factors; and establishes a living platform for research discovery.
