“Getting Connected to your Data – A Reproducible Workflow for Data Wrangling”Speaker: Jean-Paul Courneya, MS, Bioinformationist and Data Scientist, UMB HSHSL Wrangling. Munging. Data Sanitation. These and other names describe an aspect of the data analysis life cycle typically thought of as boring and unglamorous, but which occupies the majority of time spent during a data analysis project. The time you spend in preparing your data for analysis, while crucial, cuts into the time available for using software to produce a visualization, calculate a statistic, or run a favorite machine learning algorithm. The goal of this seminar is to provide a reproducible workflow for performing your own data wrangling. I will suggest methods to help you to: 1) get to know your data, 2) cultivate habits that will help you to spend less time on wrangling, and 3) optimally prepare your data for the output you're interested in producing. |

“Should There be an App for That? Tips for Success in Funding and Developing Digital Technology-Based Interventions”Speaker: Cindy M. Schaeffer, PhD Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Division, National Center for School Mental Health, University of Maryland School of Medicine There is great interest in how digital technologies, such as mobile phone apps, wearables, and games, can improve health outcomes and the patient experience. However, the technical ability to digitize an intervention, in and of itself, is likely not sufficient justification for obtaining funding. Other factors, such as market feasibility, user engagement, and integration with existing technologies, must also be considered. This seminar will provide tips for how to propose and design digital tools that are user-centered, grounded in science, and likely to truly improve existing clinical practices. Trends in digital health technology design, such as use of gamification and artificial intelligence capabilities, will also be discussed. |

“Data Science; Tools to Drive Implementation & Dissemination Research Impact”Speakers: Fadia T. Shaya, PhD, MPH, Professor of Pharmaceutical Health Services Research; Program Chair, Drugs and Devices Collaborative (D2C), University of Maryland School of Pharmacy; Co-Director UMB ICTR Informatics Core Cynthia Baur, PhD, Endowed Professor and Director, Horowit It takes 17 years to turn 14% of original research findings into benefit for patients. Promising research results do not automatically or easily translate into programs, interventions, and clinical practices that improve health, resulting in a gap between research and practice – also known as the valleys of death. The science of implementation and dissemination is an emerging, multidisciplinary field that aims to improve the relevance and uptake of research-based knowledge in real-world settings. FROM DATA TO KNOWLEDGE TO ACTION Using the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Knowledge-to-Action framework, Drs. Fadia Shaya and Cynthia Baur illustrate how to think about implementation and dissemination from the beginning of the research process and how implementation and dissemination science can help accelerate effective clinical practice and inform future research. z Center for Health Literacy at University of Maryland College Park, School of Public Health
