# Biomedical and Health Informatics Training Program

> **NIH NIH T15** · UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON · 2021 · $8,661

## Abstract

Project Summary
 The National Library of Medicine supports research training in biomedical informatics and data science
at sixteen educational institutions in the United States. These training programs offer graduate education and
postdoctoral research experiences in a wide range of areas including: health care informatics, translational
bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, public health informatics. Each year an Informatics Training
Conference is convened to bring NLM trainees together to showcase their work, to evaluate the full scope of
current work in the field, and to meet their peers. Trainees appointed at the Veterans Administration (VA)
sponsored training programs, NLM’s intramural trainees, and informatics trainees supported by BD2K T32
programs are also invited to attend and make presentations.
 This year, the 2021 Informatics Training Conference will be virtual due to the pandemic and will be
hosted by the University of Washington (UW) June 21-23, 2021. The event will be held on a virtual platform
using Zoom and will follow the typical course of a conference with plenary sessions, focus sessions, poster
sessions, open mike sessions and some panel discussions. The Training Grant Directors will break away to
meet and the NLM trainees will have an opportunity for social interaction via a virtual activity to support
collegiality and academic experience. A student planning committee (SPC) has been formed with 2
representatives from the University of Washington and a representative trainee, (predoctoral or postdoctoral)
from each of the NLM T15 sites. The SPC will be meeting to organize the agenda, review abstract submissions
and plan a social activity for the conference attendees. Faculty and staff at the University of Washington began
meeting in December 2020 with representatives from NLM and the Oregon Health Sciences University who
hosted the event last year to gather information pertinent to planning a successful conference. UW faculty and
staff continue to meet bi-weekly to plan logistics, create and launch the SPC, draft the agenda, issue the call
for abstracts and to coordinate with UW’s Conference Services team to create a conference website, manage
registration, and the creation of an eBook to include conference information including but not limited to the
agenda, logistics and presenter abstracts.
