DCC supplement for Experimental Models Portal and Enhanced Security

DiGiovanna, JackEspinosa, Joaquin MO'Connor, BrianResnick, Adam Cain

This is a proposal to support the design of a pilot data portal for sharing and analysis of data from experimental models of Down syndrome, and to enhance the security ecosystem of the existing researcher portal known as the INCLUDE Data Hub. The activities supported by this award will enable the future creation of an Experimental Models Portal within the INCLUDE Data Hub, while also supporting full compliance with advanced security standards.

Data Science for Diverse Scholars in Down Syndrome Research (DS3)

DiGiovanna, JackEspinosa, Joaquin MO'Connor, BrianResnick, Adam Cain

The mission of the INCLUDE Data Coordinating Center is to accelerate research that benefits individuals with Down syndrome (DS) by facilitating access and analysis of data from cohort studies of people with DS. In order to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion in the INCLUDE Project specifically and in the DS research community more broadly, this administrative supplement will support a training program in data sciences for historically under-represented minorities (URMs). This award will fund an immersive summer course in data sciences known as the Data Science for Diverse Scholars in Down Syndrome Research (DS3), which will provide training in the basics of generation, identification, and collection of high content multidimensional datasets; their management, analysis, and visualization; as well as development of key professional skills required for the career advancement of diverse trainees.
