NLM's University-based Biomedical Informatics and Data Science Research Training Programs
As of July 1, 2017, the National Library of Medicine supports research training in biomedical informatics and data science at sixteen educational institutions in the United States. These training programs offer graduate education and postdoctoral research experiences in a wide range of areas including: health care informatics, translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, public health informatics. In all of these areas, biomedical data science concepts and methods are part of the core curriculum. Seven programs also offer special tracks in environmental exposure informatics. The organizations funded to do this training are responsible for the selection of trainees; questions about eligibility, program specifics, and levels of support should be addressed to the programs themselves. The location and contact information for NLM’s training programs are provided below.
Each NLM research training program makes special efforts to recruit individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, women, and those from economically, socially, culturally or educationally disadvantaged backgrounds, into research careers in biomedical informatics and data science. Many programs offer short-term training experiences toward this goal. For further details, please see the table below, and contact the individual training program.
