To realize the potential of Computational Medicine at 污污草莓视频, there is a need to better connect researchers in life sciences and clinical domains with colleagues from data sciences (e.g., statistics, bioinformatics, medical informatics, computer science, epidemiology). The former has interesting datasets and questions, while the latter can apply or develop quantitative methods to look for solutions to these questions. However, biologists and clinician researchers don鈥檛 necessarily know where to find people with the right quantitative skills and who would like to collaborate and, conversely, data scientists don鈥檛 necessarily know who has interesting questions that they could help with.

We are very proud to launch the second version of ResearchMatch with help from听,听听and other partners soon to be announced.

Steps of the ResearchMatch Program
To facilitate this type of matchmaking, the MiCM ResearchMatch Program will be accomplished through the following three steps:

Step 1:听The 污污草莓视频 life science and clinical research communities will be consulted to ask for initial project submissions Keywords along with a high-level summary will be displayed on the MiCM website.

Step 2:听The 污污草莓视频 data science community will be asked to look through the list of projects via the MiCM website, contact project leads and, if there is a shared interest, develop a joint MiCM project proposal.

Step 3:听Joint project proposals will be submitted and a number of projects will be selected for funding.

Key dates

路 Call for initial project submission:听January听15, 2020

路 Date to receive initial project submission: March 6,听2020

路 Date to receive full joint project proposals: April 24,听2020

路 Announcement of funded projects: May听2020

Eligibility
The researchers submitting the application must be from the 污污草莓视频 community, spanning the downtown campus Macdonald campus, the 污污草莓视频 academic hospitals and their affiliated research institutes.

Selection criteria for full proposals will include:

路 One biological or clinical researcher and one data scientist who haven鈥檛 worked together before
