NNLM Carpentries Workshops
The Network of the National Library of Medicine sponsors Carpentries workshops covering a variety of topics. The target audience is learners who have little to no prior computational experience, and the instructors put a priority on creating a friendly environment to empower learners and enable data-driven discovery. Even those with some experience will benefit, as the goal is to teach not only how to do analyses, but how to manage the process to make it as automated and reproducible as possible.

Common Data Elements: Standardizing Data Collection: A Tutorial
Making research data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) starts well before data collection. Designing studies with common data elements (CDEs) can enable data sharing and reuse. Librarians and other information professionals have an important role in educating and assisting researchers in the use of CDEs. Whether you are a research data librarian or assist researchers in finding sources, this one-hour, self-paced course from the National Library of Medicine can help you understand how you can support the use of common data elements (CDEs) in creating FAIR data.
Fundamentals of Health Sciences Research Data Management
This 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.
