Best Practices for Collecting, Documenting, and Managing Research Data and Records
Course Dates: January 9, 16, 23, 30, 2025, 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. ET
Location: Online
Language: English
Translating discoveries into clinical therapies requires meticulous planning and rigor at every step. Reliable and secure research records are essential for ensuring data quality and integrity, enabling reproducibility, and driving successful clinical or commercial translation.
With increasing concerns about research reproducibility, standardized best practices in data management have become critical. Accurate, traceable records enhance transparency and validity, facilitate reproducibility, and minimize troubleshooting and experimental waste.
BioCanRx and Stem Cell Network are pleased to host “Best Practices for collecting, documenting, and managing research and data records”, a 4-part interactive virtual workshop series providing foundational knowledge in research data and record management. Participants will receive individualized advice and feedback, allowing them to confidently apply the workshop’s concepts to their own research groups and project plans.
Facilitators:
Rebecca L. Davies, PhD
Gayle Piat, RQAP-GLP, RAC
Who should attend?
This workshop is targeted at Principal Investigators and trainees/highly qualified personnel (HQP) (i.e., a graduate student, post-doc, research associate and/or technician) aiming to establish a foundation for successful clinical translation. Applicants must be a Principal Investigator working on immunotherapy research in a Canadian lab in a research team of at least 2 people (the second team member being a trainee/ HQP). Non-academic applicants may apply but will be subject to a $500 fee, with priority given to academic applicants.
