This course will expand on concepts covered in RDM 101: Biomedical and Health Research Data Management Training for Librarians, and threaded throughout will be the librarian's role in research reproducibility and research integrity and include practice in using Jupyter Notebooks. The course topics include an overview of data science and open science, data literacy, data wrangling, data visualization, and data storytelling. The program spans 9 weeks from February 24 - April 24, including 5 modules of asynchronous content, a catch-up week, and a synchronous online session during the week of April 20. The format includes video lectures, readings, case studies, hands-on exercises, and peer discussions. Under the guidance of a project instructor, participants will complete a Final Project to demonstrate improved skills, knowledge, and ability to support data science services at their institution. Expect to spend about 6 hours each week on coursework and the project. Applications are due January 10, 2020. Additional details, including application link, are available at https://wp.me/p8Qzkf-2LX. For questions and concerns, please contact the NTO at nto at utah.edu.

Message-ID: Hello - The NNLM Training Office (NTO) and Southeastern Atlantic Region (SEA) are pleased to host Library Carpentry workshops this spring and provide professional development funds to support travel to these exciting opportunities. Library Carpentry focuses on building software and data skills within library and information-related communities. Their goal is to empower people in these roles to use software and data in their own work and to become advocates for and train others in efficient, effective and reproducible data and software practices. The target audience is learners who have little to no prior computational experience. The instructors put a priority on creating a friendly environment to empower researchers 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. Biomedical and health sciences librarians and LIS students are encouraged to participate. In this two-day interactive, hands-on workshop you will learn core software and data skills, with lessons including: * Introduction to Working with Data * Introduction to Git * OpenRefine * The Unix Shell, and * A brief Introduction to Python Participants may apply to attend the workshop series in either: * Baltimore, Maryland - March 19-20, 2020 or * Salt Lake City, Utah - March 26-27, 2020 To broaden access to this exciting training, we invite applications to cover the costs of travel and attendance, up to $1,500 for Baltimore, and $1,200 for Salt Lake City. Travel costs will be reimbursed after travel occurs. Eligibility: Your organization must be a NNLM Network Member. If your organization is not a Network Member, they can join for free! You must be able to commit to traveling for the workshop dates: * University of Maryland, Baltimore - March 19-20, 2020 * University of Utah, Salt Lake City - March 26-27, 2020 You must be able to bring a laptop computer. All participants must be prepared to observe The Carpentries Code of Conduct in workshops. Applications to participate and receive funding are due Friday, January 10, 2020.

Events should gather data professionals from multiple institutions and may vary in size and scope from workshops, symposia, conferences, etc. These may be established events or new endeavors. We are particularly looking to sponsor regional or local level events that will attract data professionals who would benefit from IASSIST membership, but may not always be able to travel to attend IASSIST conferences. Preference will be given to events from underrepresented IASSIST membership areas as such as Africa, Asia/Pacific, Eastern Europe, and Latin/South America. Requests for sponsorships may be monetary, and may also include a request for mentorship assistance by matching the event planning committee with an experienced IASSIST member with relevant expertise (e.g., conference planning, subject/content, geographic familiarity). Accepted events will be required to designate an active IASSIST member as the liaison. Generally, this would be an IASSIST member who will be attending the event and although not required, may be on the planning committee or otherwise contributing to the event. The liaison will be responsible for assistance with coordinating logistics related to the sponsorship, ensuring that the sponsorship is recognized at the event, and contributing a post to the IASSIST blog about the event. Proposals should include: - Name of the event and event details (date, location, any other pertinent information) - Organizing or hosting institution - Description of event and how it relates to IASSIST goals and communities - Specific request for sponsorship: amount of money and/or mentorship assistance - For monetary requests, confirmation that an established account exists to receive awarded funds - Description of how the sponsorship will be used - Name and contact information of person submitting proposal and designated event liaison to IASSIST (if different) Proposals are due on Friday, January 24, 2020 via the Application Form . Notification of sponsorship awards will be sent by February 28, 2020. The number and monetary extent of awarded sponsorships will depend on the number and quality of applications received within a total budgeted limit. Individual sponsorship requests may range from $0 USD (request for mentorship only) to $2,000 USD. Questions? Please see our video on event sponsorships , or contact Jen Doty, IASSIST Membership Chair (dotyjb at gmail.com). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
