Training

大数据生物医学知识因果建模和发现中心(CCMD)的培训部分将(1)培训数据科学家改进CMD方法，以利用大数据回答生物医学问题；(2)培训生物医学研究人员规划和进行大型复杂数据集的CMD分析；以及(3)培训中心软件的用户快速、轻松地将CMD工具应用于大数据问题。参加CCMD培训活动的个人预计将包括来自学术界和工业界的研究生、博士后、年轻研究人员和知名研究人员，包括我们自己的中心、匹兹堡、其他BD2K中心等。培训部分利用CMU和PIT的独特环境，为实现以下BD2K目标做出贡献：1)促进新的和早期调查人员的职业生涯；2)帮助广泛、有效地传播CCMD开发的途径、方法、软件、工具和相关资源；3)开发创新的途径，培训在大数据科学领域开展研究所需的技能；以及4)与其他中心以及更广泛的社区共享培训方法和材料。我们将利用我们在近二十年中建立的广泛基础，在CMD方法的理论和应用方面教育数据科学家和领域科学家。我们将开发独特的培训材料，包括创新的培训软件，以支持针对我们主要选民的广泛培训活动。专业培训活动将包括在线教程、新的在线课程、与核心课程的整合、CMD讲习班和为期一周的CCMD暑期学校。我们的专业培训活动的好处将立即在我们的三个培训项目中感受到(其中两个由NIH资助)，并将扩展到我们的大学和其他机构，以及其他BD2K中心。针对用户的努力包括培训视频、在线文档、软件网络研讨会、开发人员办公时间和黑客松。培训部分将通过在多个科学界推广中心的方法和产品，扩大中心的影响范围。

The Training Component of the Center for Causal Modeling and Discovery (CCMD) of Biomedical Knowledge from Big Data will (1) train data scientists to advance CMD methods to answer biomedical questions with Big Data, (2) train biomedical investigators to plan and conduct CMD analyses of large complex datasets, and (3) train users of the Center's software to quickly and easily apply CMD tools to Big Data problems. Individuals participating in CCMD training activities are expected to include graduate Students, postdoctoral students, young investigators and established investigators from academia and industry, across our own Center, Pittsburgh, other BD2K Centers, and beyond. The Training Component takes advantage of the unique environment at CMU and Pitt to contribute to the achievement of the following BD2K goals: 1) promote the careers of new and early-stage investigators, 2) contribute to the broad, effective dissemination of the approaches, methods, software, tools, and related resources developed by the CCMD, 3) develop innovative approaches to training in the skills necessary to do research in the area of Big Data science, and 4) share training methods and materials with other Centers as well as the broader community. We will leverage the extensive foundation we have built over nearly two decades to educate data scientists and domain scientists in the theory and application of CMD methods. We will develop unique training materials including innovative training software, to support a wide range of training activities targeted to our main constituencies. Professional training activities will include online tutorials, a new online course, integration with core curricula, CMD workshops, and a one-week CCMD Summer School. The benefits of our professional training activities will be immediately felt in our three training programs (two of which are NIH funded), and will extend out to our Universities and others, as well as other BD2K Centers. Efforts aimed at users include training videos, online documentation, software Webinars, Developer Office Hours, and Hackathons. The Training Component will increase the reach of the Center by promoting the Center's approaches and products within multiple scientific communities.
