New NIH guidelines for Reproducible Research open a possible market

[pschloss]

One of the big pushes at NIH currently is to address concerns regarding the reproducibility and robustness of biomedical research. Many faculty at UM are freaking out because they don't know what this means for data analysis. Many think that R is the panacea to their concerns, yet few of them know what R is. I think this is a great opportunity for us to offer either SWC or DC workshops. Before I promise too much, I wanted to get people's thoughts on what we should offer. I had three ideas. First, I could reach out to individual department heads and ask if they'd be interested in having a workshop for their trainees where we could handle 25 learners for $1000. Second, I could reach out to the head of grants in the Med School to see whether she (or someone else in the Dean's office) would be interested in hosting 3-N workshops over the coming year for $1000 X N. Third, we offer targeted workshops to people in the Medical School community and not worry about the money or administration's support. Thoughts? I think this would be a great opportunity for us to grow and I think our integrated and community-based approach is something unique that other groups on campus do not offer.

You might consider reaching out to NIH Core research centers that support
furthering NIH research. I would be happy to talk further.
