Librarians and researchers alike have long identified research data management (RDM) training as a need in biomedical research. Despite the wealth of libraries offering RDM education to their communities, clinical research is an area that has not been targeted. Clinical RDM (CRDM) is seen by its community as an essential part of the research process where established guidelines exist, yet educational initiatives in this area are unknown.
Leveraging my academic library's experience supporting CRDM through informationist grants and REDCap training in our medical center, I developed a 1.5 hour CRDM workshop. This workshop was designed to use established CRDM guidelines in clinical research and address common questions asked by our community through the library's existing data support program. The workshop was offered to the entire medical center 4 times between November 2017 and July 2018. This case study describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of this workshop.
The 4 workshops were well attended and well received by the medical center community, with 99% stating that they would recommend the class to others and 98% stating that they would use what they learned in their work. Attendees also articulated how they would implement the main competencies they learned from the workshop into their work. For the library, the effort to support CRDM has led to the coordination of a larger institutional collaborative training series to educate researchers on best practices with data, as well as the formation of institution-wide policy groups to address researcher challenges with CRDM, data transfer, and data sharing.
长期以来,图书馆员和研究人员都认为研究数据管理(RDM)培训是生物医学研究中的一项需求。尽管有大量图书馆为其社区提供RDM教育,但临床研究领域尚未成为目标对象。临床研究数据管理(CRDM)在其领域内被视为研究过程的重要组成部分,已有既定指南,但该领域的教育举措却鲜为人知。
利用我校图书馆通过信息专家资助以及在我们医疗中心进行的REDCap培训来支持CRDM的经验,我开发了一个1.5小时的CRDM工作坊。该工作坊旨在运用临床研究中既定的CRDM指南,并通过图书馆现有的数据支持计划解答我们社区提出的常见问题。在2017年11月至2018年7月期间,该工作坊面向整个医疗中心举办了4次。本案例研究描述了该工作坊的开发、实施和评估情况。
这4次工作坊受到了医疗中心社区的广泛参与和好评,99%的人表示会向他人推荐该课程,98%的人表示会将所学知识应用到工作中。参与者还阐述了他们将如何把从工作坊中学到的主要技能应用到工作中。对于图书馆而言,支持CRDM的努力促成了一个更大规模的机构协作培训系列的协调,以教育研究人员关于数据的最佳实践,同时还组建了全机构范围的政策小组,以应对研究人员在CRDM、数据转移和数据共享方面的挑战。
