Abstract

Data science is a field that has developed to enable efficient integration and analysis of increasingly large data sets in many domains. In particular, big data in genetics, neuroimaging, mobile health, and other subfields of biomedical science, promises new insights, but also poses challenges. To address these challenges, the National Institutes of Health launched the Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) initiative, including a Training Coordinating Center (TCC) tasked with developing a resource for personalized data science training for biomedical researchers. The BD2K TCC web portal is powered by ERuDIte, the Educational Resource Discovery Index, which collects training resources for data science, including online courses, videos of tutorials and research talks, textbooks, and other web-based materials. While the availability of so many potential learning resources is exciting, they are highly heterogeneous in …
