Past Events

Join the National Eye Institute's Office of Data Science and Health Informatics (ODSHI) at their NEI Informatics & Data-Driven Insights: Seminars & Dialogue Opportunities for Vision Health series launch! Michael Chiang, the NEI Director, and Kerry Goetz, Associate Director of ODSHI, will be introducing the series and discussing the NEI's perspective on the intersection of data science and vision research. The event will offer opportunities for dialogue with the speakers, and ask for audience input on future topics of interest.

Recently, the 2023 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award was awarded to James Fujimoto, David Huang, and Eric Swanson for their invention of optical coherence tomography (OCT), a technique that has revolutionized ocular health care.

In recognition of this honor and to celebrate the impact of OCT in vision health and research, the National Eye Institute is hosted a scientific symposium, March 18-19, 2024, at the NIH campus in Bethesda.

The program featured lectures and discussion on a diverse range of topics highlighting current and emerging OCT applications in both research and clinical settings.

Event: Advancing the Use and Development of Common Data Elements (CDE) in Research Workshop

• Format: Hybrid (Online and In-Person)

• Register: Advancing the Use and Development of Common Data Elements in Research Workshop

We are excited to announce the upcoming ODSS Common Data Elements (CDE) Workshop, hosted by the NIH Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS). 

This two-day workshop will take place on March 6-7, 2024, at the Natcher Conference Center in Bethesda, MD. This workshop aims to bring together expert panels, researchers, professional societies, and patient organizations to explore the value, resources, and applications of CDEs. 

Our speakers will cover a range of pertinent topics, including: 

• The value of CDEs
• Current NIH resources for CDEs
• Technical implementation aspects and approaches to enhancing interoperability
• Overcoming barriers in CDE adoption in community research
• Use cases for preparing and applying CDEs to intelligent technologies

Please mark your calendars and prepare to join us for this informative and engaging workshop.
