PROJECT SUMMARY This project will develop free, open, self-paced online modules on the Canvas LMS for exposing and educating bioinformatics trainees on knowledge that is typically considered to be outside of formal training in a traditional research education program. The topics to be covered include professionalism, tenets of reproducibility and replicability, standards for excellence, technical writing skills, best practices for data and code sharing, and advocacy in research. By exposing trainees to this knowledge, which can often be institutional and dependent on mentorship, we will (1) build confidence in trainees' ability to perform reproducible research in their own laboratory, research group, or workplace setting; (2) support a more active and engaged bioinformatics research workforce; and (3) provide a piloted curriculum for other bioinformatics research training programs to implement in their own educational settings. Direct trainings on ethics, responsible research, or professionalism are notably absent in most formal training in bioinformatics. While a number of supplementary responsible conduct in research trainings exist, many of these focus on achieving compliance instead of best practice. To build a standard of excellence in bioinformatics research, trainees need a sense of community and knowledge of the historical context of biomedical research to understand and motivate the need for excellence in bioinformatics research in practice. Our modules will teach trainees about the bioinformatics community, and how to engage that community in a number of scenarios depending on their personal ability to do so. Content will be broken down into a minimum of 12 major modules, and will be presented as a combination of videos, quizzes, audio interviews, at-home exercises, coding exercises, and open- access reading material. All exams/quizzes/assignments will be auto graded. The proposed project will serve to complement ongoing training in bioinformatics education at any point in one's career. Provision of short, online, self-paced modules allows the user to compare their results to other common results, as well as informing trainees how to most effectively join in their local, regional, and international science communities to discuss and engage other users on their approaches. By demonstrating the value of this training through addressing questions that trainees typically have about the `non-formal' aspects of research training, we will achieve better trainee engagement and therefore a more effective “responsible conduct in research” experience, improving professional competence in bioinformatics trainees.

项目摘要 该项目将在Canvas LMS上开发免费，开放，自定进度的在线模块，以展示和 教育生物信息学受训者关于通常被认为不在正式之外的知识的知识 传统研究教育计划中的培训。要涵盖的主题包括专业精神， 可重复性和可复制性的宗旨，卓越标准，技术写作技巧，最佳实践 用于数据和代码共享以及研究中的倡导。通过将培训暴露于这种知识中， 通常可以是制度性的，并且取决于精神训练，我们将（1）建立对培训能力的信心 在自己的实验室，研究小组或工作场所环境中进行可重复的研究； （2） 支持更积极，更敬业的生物信息学研究人员； （3）提供了一个试点 其他生物信息学研究培训计划的课程，以实施自己的教育 设置。 在大多数正式中，关于道德，负责任的研究或专业精神的直接培训是显而易见的 生物信息学培训。而研究培训中的许多补充负责任的行为 存在，其中许多集中于实现合规性而不是最佳实践。建立一个标准 卓越的生物信息学研究，受训者需要对社区感和了解 生物医学研究的历史背景，以了解和激发卓越的需求 实践中的生物信息学研究。我们的模块将教学员有关生物信息学的知识 社区，以及如何根据他们的个人方式参与许多情况 能够这样做的能力。内容将被分解为至少12个主要模块，并将呈现 作为视频，测验，音频访谈，在家练习，编码练习和开放的组合 - 访问阅读材料。所有考试/测验/作业都将自动分级。拟议的项目将 在一个人职业生涯的任何时候，都可以补充正在进行的生物信息学教育的培训。条款 简而 以及通知学员如何最有效地加入其本地，地区和国际 科学社区讨论并吸引其他用户的方法。 通过解决通常受训者的问题来证明该培训的价值 关于研究培训的“非正式”方面，我们将获得更好的学员 参与度，因此是更有效的“负责任行为”经验， 提高生物信息学学员的专业能力。
