Students will learn how informatics can and should support research and how research is altered by that support. The course addresses the entire life cycle of a clinical-research program: idea generation, team building, protocol development, obtaining funding, addressing ethical concerns, obtaining permissions, recruiting participants, providing the intervention and associated care, data collection, data analysis, data archiving, and results dissemination.
Topics:
- translational informatics
- incorporating the results of clinical and bioinformatics research into health practice
- novel principles involved, tools available, evidence for their success, and implications for the future
