This course presents critical concepts and practical methods to support planning, collection, storage, and dissemination of data in clinical research.

Understanding and implementing solid data management principles is critical for any scientific domain. Regardless of your current (or anticipated) role in the research enterprise, a strong working knowledge and skill set in data management principles and practice will increase your productivity and improve your science. The instructors' goal is to use these modules to help you learn and practice this skill set.

The six modules cover these topics:

Research Data Collection Strategy
Electronic Data Capture Fundamentals
Planning a Data Strategy for a Prospective Study
