VIRTUAL WORKSHOP ON APRIL 14
Improving Defense Acquisition Workforce Capability in Data Use

Please join us for a virtual workshop on improving data capabilities for the defense acquisition workforce on Tuesday, April 14, 2020 from 10am-5:30pm ET. This workshop will provide a forum for presentations and discussions among project directors and managers, data training specialists, and policymakers on applying data science in defense acquisition processes. Speakers and panelists representing the Department of Defense, government agencies, universities, and the private sector will share their perspectives on relevant data science skills and capabilities necessary for the acquisition workforce, as well as training opportunities for acquisition professionals. 

This workshop will serve as an information-gathering mechanism for a broader consensus study that will result in a report providing recommendations on how the Department of Defense can accelerate data analysis capabilities within the acquisition workforce.

PANEL THEMES:

• Data Use for Defense Acquisition
• Perspectives from the Chief Data Officers Across the Defense Community
• Upskilling Data Capabilities in Industry Workforce
• Training, Educating, and Building Data Science Teams

Download the agenda on the workshop website.

This event is sponsored by the Department of Defense.
 

NEW INFOGRAPHIC
Enhancing Scientific Reproducibility in Biomedical Research Through Transparent Reporting

We are pleased to share a new infographic from a National Academies' workshop on Enhancing Scientific Reproducibility in Biomedical Research through Transparent Reporting that was held last Fall.  The workshop explored the state of transparency in reporting preclinical biomedical research, as well as the possibility of improving the harmonization of guidelines across journals and funding agencies so that biomedical researchers could propose and report data consistently.
