Training Program

This one-hour training will cover the methods of conducting a rapid review, using rigorous systematic review methodology but in a shorter time frame. Attendees will learn best practices, guidelines and the required methodological steps on how to complete an effective rapid review within a faster pace than a systematic review. 

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to: 

This one-hour training will cover the key steps on how to successfully create an ORCiD profile.  Attendees will learn the steps on how to easily add and update information to their profile including importing publications, reports, grants, and peer review scholarly work. The session will review resources and best practices for creating an ORCiD profile that can be included in your CV, grant applications and bio to increase the visibility of your scholarly activities. 

This one-hour online training is the second session in a two-part series that aims to assist researchers in writing a research paper. This training will cover what happens after a manuscript is submitted to a journal including the peer review process, responding to journal editor and peer reviewer comments, and understanding open access and data sharing requirements.  This training also provides best practices and tips to make the manuscript writing and submission process easier. 

This one-hour online training will cover bibliometric theories and concepts, provide an overview of bibliometric indicators, and explore limitations and potential misuses of bibliometrics. Bibliometrics uses quantitative analysis of scientific publications to measure productivity, collaboration, research topics, and impacts of authors, groups, institutions, and grant portfolios. 

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to:  

This one-hour online training will cover importing records into EndNote Desktop, creating, managing, and sharing EndNote libraries, and inserting formatted citations into a Word document using the “Cite While You Write” feature. 
 
By the end of this training, attendees will be able to: 

This one-hour online training will cover the essentials of searching the Scopus database. The database covers the health sciences, physical sciences, life sciences, and social sciences. The types of documents include articles, patents, conferences, preprints, and many others. Each record has citation data. This introductory training is designed for attendees to learn how to search the database and to retrieve cited references.  

This one-hour online introductory training in the NIH Library Evidence Synthesis Review Series provides a high-level overview of the complete process for conducting a Systematic Review.  This training will cover each step for conducting a systematic review and  introduce resources for conducting and reporting a systematic review.    

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to: 

This one-hour online training will cover the essentials of searching the Web of Science database. The database covers the health sciences, physical sciences, life sciences, and social sciences. The types of documents include articles, patents, dissertations, conferences, preprints, and many others. Each record has citation data. This introductory training is designed for participants to learn how to search the database and to retrieve cited references.  

This one-hour online training will provide detailed information and demonstrations on how to manage data in Excel.   

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to:  

• Filter data by text, numbers, and date  

• Sort data alphabetically and by color  

• Remove duplicates  

This one-hour online training introduces attendees to modeling and simulation of biological systems using MATLAB’s SimBiology and BioPipeline Designer toolboxes. SimBiology is a versatile toolbox for modeling, simulating, and analyzing dynamic biological systems such as metabolic pathways, signaling cascades, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) models. BioPipeline Designer complements this by streamlining workflows for integrating biological data and automating computational analyses. 

This one-hour online training will provide an overview of NIH Library services and information resources provided for HHS staff via the HHS Virtual Library.   

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to: 

• Demonstrate how to remotely access and login to the HHS Virtual Library online 

• Identify the NIH Librarian assigned to their agency

This one-hour online training is an introduction to the collection of NIH Library resources and services available to NIH staff. The NIH Library serves as the staff library for NIH. This training is designed to instruct attendees on the range of information support and how to navigate the Library’s website to access the information required to support their work. 

By the end of this training, attendees will be able to:  

This one-hour online training will cover an overview of patent search tools, with a focus on search and analysis options in a variety of patent databases: Espacenet, Google Patents, PATENTSCOPE, Derwent Innovations Index, and Lens.org. During this training, the instructor will review patent search concepts including patent families, patent classification systems, and kind codes. Chemical structure and genetic sequence search options will also be covered. 

This one-hour online training provides researchers with an overview of online resources for locating research datasets, data repositories, and data publications for data sharing and re-use. Participants will learn search strategies for locating datasets through federated data search portals and generalist data repositories, including directories for locating discipline-specific and institutional data repositories.
