DataScience@NIH  New This Week: Today is the last day to apply to participate in the Pittsburgh Genomics Hackathon assisted by NCBI September 25 – 27, 2017. The hackathon will focus on advanced bioinformatics analysis of next generation sequencing data, proteomics and metadata. This event is for researchers, including students and postdocs, who are already engaged in the use of bioinformatics data or in the development of pipelines for bioinformatics analyses from high-throughput experiments. Some projects are available to non-scientific developers, mathematicians and librarians. The event is open to anyone selected for the hackathon and willing to travel to the University of Pittsburgh (University of Pittsburgh, Hillman Library, Digital Scholarship Commons, 221 Schenley Drive, Oakland, PA 15213). Working groups of five to six individuals will be formed into five to seven teams. These teams will build pipelines and tools to analyze large datasets within a cloud infrastructure. To apply, complete this form (approximately 10 minutes to complete). Applications are due Tuesday, August 22nd, 2017 by 5 pm ET. Please contact busby@nih.govand iwema@pitt.edu with any questions. Reminders You May Need  Data Science Opportunities: Data Science Rotation for Advancing Discovery Trip (RoAD-Trip) The BD2K Training Coordinating Center (TCC) has developed the Data Science Rotations for Advancing Discovery (RoAD-Trip) program to specifically foster new collaborations among junior biomedical researchers and senior-level data scientists to address the challenge of translating complex data into new knowledge. Application are due September 16, 2017. The BD2K Training Coordinating Center has been creating and populating the Educational Resource Discovery Index (ERuDIte), a database of 10,000+ data science educational resources from collective BD2K activities and from around the web. Learn More: http://www.bigdatau.org/. Find the ERuDite search box at the top of the page to access the database. To contribute your feedback, contact John Van Horn at: jvanhorn@usc.edu. The bioCADDIE DDICC Core Team is pleased to announce the release of DataMed v3.0! DataMed is designed to be for data what PubMed has been for scientific literature. This version of the Data Discovery Index (DDI) prototype includes many additional datasets and reflects considerable user/stakeholder input. The user interface has also been updated to reflect this input. Your feedback is welcome, via the issue tracker included in the landing page. For more information about DataMed v3.0, email: biocaddie@ucsd.edu or Anupama.E.Gururaj@uth.tmc.edu. Data Science Events: The Principle Investigator of the BD2K ENIGMA Consortium, Dr. Paul Thompson, will present the Keynote Lecture at the Cognomics Conference being held September 7-8, 2017 in Nijmegen, Netherlands. Registration for this conference is now open. Submissions: We welcome your input! Submissions must be received prior to 12:00 noon ET on Monday to be included in that same week's edition. If you are requesting attendance at an event by Federal employees, it is recommended that you submit your event information a minimum of one month in advance.
