Abstract

Clinical and translational research often involves the generation, collection, storage, management, analysis, and dissemination of heterogeneous and multi-dimensional data, information, and knowledge resources. Addressing such fundamental informatics needs and requirements is a challenging problem that usually requires the collaboration of multi-disciplinary teams. Central to the ability to form and operate such teams is the development of a workforce with sufficient expertise at the basic and applied science levels as relevant to the clinical and translational science domain. Over the last decade, significant advances have been made in education and training programs targeting such workforce development. While still early in their maturity, such efforts have already begun to impact the advancement of biomedical science and human health, and serve to illustrate the critical nature of computational and informatics theories and methodologies across the broader translational research spectrum.
