Today's translational research requires data--lots of data--along with analysis rigor and data standards that enable research reproducibility. Real world data such as data captured in clinical care is a logical source for powerful studies but few are accessible for research settings. This year's North Coast Conference features speakers engaged in developing or using research data enclaves of real-world clinical data representing diverse patient populations. The day-long North Coast Conference includes a morning workshop followed by an afternoon symposium. The morning workshop "Packaging Software, Scripts, and Workflows to Enhance Reproducibility and Reuse", led by Drs. Will Bush and Nick Wheeler, will cover 1) use of docker and singularity containers for maintaining stable and transportable code (1 hour) and 2) use of Jupyter Notebooks for transparent data analysis (1 hour). Invited speakers will discuss the need for and development and use of large diverse data enclaves for biomedical research in the afternoon. Please check back regularly for updates on the confirmed speakers and -- we look forward to seeing you here in Cleveland September 17, 2024! !
