Project Summary/Abstract We propose to develop content for, and deliver informatics training to a broad cross-section of citizens, scientists, and researchers in informatics. We will leverage and extend an existing training platform and content we have developed. We will improve cancer informatics literacy and the usability of existing ITCR tools, support future ITCR tool developers, and teach informatics to a broad cross-section of interested parties. Our success will both deepen expertise within the field and broaden the exposure of ITCR tools within currently-unengaged research communities. Specifically, we will: (1) develop and release a software platform for rapidly prototyping, validating, and sharing modular training materials that can be delivered in a range of formats from massive online open courses, to in-person short courses, to in depth semester long courses, (2) develop informatics courses teaching not only specific use of ITCR tools to solve concrete scientific challenges but also broadly the concepts of informatics to a broad community ranging from citizen scientists to NCI funded PIs, (3) develop courses for ITCR tool developers around usability, documentation, support and marketing to improve the impact of these tools in the field, and (4) deliver in person and "train the trainer" courses that will scale the impact of our educational program both within NIH funded cancer centers and into currently underserved researchers at community colleges, minority serving institutions, historically black colleges and universities, and engaged citizens outside of academia. All software, content, and data developed by our program will be open source and made accessible to the broadest possible audience by leveraging our existing expertise in online and scalable in-person education, along with our relationships to MOOC providers, informatics platforms, and developers. We will thus will dramatically increase cancer informatics knowledge and skill, and speed the adoption and use of data to tackle important problems in cancer throughout the research enterprise.

项目概要/摘要 我们建议为广大公民开发内容并向其提供信息学培训， 科学家和信息学研究人员。我们将利用和扩展现有的培训平台 我们开发的内容。我们将提高癌症信息学素养和现有技术的可用性 ITCR 工具，支持未来的 ITCR 工具开发人员，并向广泛的跨领域教授信息学 感兴趣的各方。我们的成功将加深该领域的专业知识并扩大该领域的曝光度 当前未参与的研究社区中的 ITCR 工具。具体来说，我们将：（1）开发和 发布一个用于快速原型设计、验证和共享模块化培训材料的软件平台 可以以多种形式提供，从大规模在线公开课程到面对面的短期课程 课程，要深入学期长的课程，（2）制定信息学课程教学不仅要具体 使用 ITCR 工具来解决具体的科学挑战，但也广泛使用信息学的概念来解决 从公民科学家到 NCI 资助的 PI 等广泛社区，(3) 为 ITCR 工具开发课程 开发人员围绕可用性、文档、支持和营销来提高这些的影响 现场工具，以及（4）亲自提供“培训培训师”课程，以扩大影响 我们的教育计划既包括 NIH 资助的癌症中心，也包括目前服务不足的项目 社区学院、少数族裔服务机构、历史悠久的黑人学院和 大学，并吸引学术界以外的公民。开发的所有软件、内容和数据 我们的计划将是开源的，并通过利用 我们在在线和可扩展的面对面教育方面现有的专业知识，以及我们与 MOOC 提供商、信息学平台和开发商。因此我们将大幅增加 癌症信息学知识和技能，并加快数据的采用和使用来解决重要问题 整个研究事业中的癌症问题。
