Other ; With the exponentially increasing volume and complexity of biomedical data, and conversely, our increasing ability to use the data, or misuse it; the need to train researchers in biocuration is key. As part of the National Institute of Health Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) initiative, a research team at Oregon Health & Science University is developing a set of Skills Courses and Open Educational Resources (OERs) that includes training researchers to make data structured, discoverable and reusable. At OHSU, basic science and medical students are not formally trained in data management or biocuration, so these optional trainings are valuable for students to learn these important skills. To date, we have offered five in-person skills courses; the initial skills course functioned as a testing ground for creating the OERs. One skills course course titled ‘Data After Dark’ course was offered over two evenings (for a total of 8 hours) and was sponsored by a micro-grant from the Biocuration Society. The Skills Courses are offered to learners at different levels, with some courses targeted towards beginner/novice students and focused on basic research data management and biocuration, and other courses were targeted towards more advanced students that focused on interactive visualization, scripting and analysis skills. In addition to offering the in-person Skills Courses, we created 20 OER modules that are available online for use by both learners and educators. The materials include slide decks, video tutorials, exercises, and recommended readings. Some of the modules especially relevant to biocuration are Data Annotation and Curation (BDK12), Ontologies 101 (BDK14), Team Science (BDK07), Basic Research Data Standards (BDK05), and Guidelines for Reporting, Publications, And Data Sharing (BDK22). The OERs and Skills Course materials are intended to be flexible and customizable and we encourage others to use or repurpose these materials for training, workshops, and professional development or for dissemination to instructors in various fields. The OERs and other materials are available here: www.dmice.ohsu.edu/bd2k ; we welcome comments, requests, and contributions.
