About the Webinar

Join the National Library of Medicine (NLM) for an insightful and transformative webinar that delves into the intersection of the work of three groundbreaking, NLM-funded researchers, each harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and machine learning to overcome significant challenges in data accessibility. Whether it's through the extraction of information from electronic health record narratives, predicting treatment outcomes from biomechanics data, or interpreting medical images, through their work, each has developed innovative strategies to minimize the need for expert intervention in the data preparation process. By providing high-quality, de-identified, annotated, and labeled datasets has resulted in shared resources of great value to the research community that can serve as benchmarks to develop, test, and improve computational methods.

This webinar is a unique opportunity for data scientists, researchers, technologists, and those curious about NLM-funded research to explore collaborative strategies for creating high-quality datasets, reducing expert burden through using innovative data processing techniques, and fostering community engagement and collaboration. It shares the latest developments in these areas and stimulates discussions on how shared methodologies can be applied across domains to expand data availability for health research. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the role of community-driven efforts in overcoming data challenges and the importance of collaboration in achieving breakthroughs in health research

Speakers:

• Özlem Uzuner, PhD, George Mason University
• C. Karen Liu, PhD, Stanford University
• Lee Cooper, PhD, Northwestern University

We're excited to announce the launch of the 2024 DataWorks! Prize, an initiative between the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) recognizing research teams for innovative secondary analysis and data reuse that advance human health. This two-phase challenge encourages participants to propose and execute impactful projects utilizing data from the NIH-funded Generalist Repositories Ecosystem Initiative (GREI).

Key Dates:

• Challenge Launch: August 5, 2024
• Phase One Submissions: August 14 – October 23, 2024
• Phase Two Submissions: January 15 – June 14, 2025

Successful teams will receive cash prizes and the opportunity to showcase their work through future DataWorks! Program events. Don't miss this chance to contribute to groundbreaking research and share your findings with the scientific community! For more information, visit herox.com/dataworks.
