This lesson provides an introduction to the Symposium on Science Management at the Canadian Association for Neuroscience 2019 Meeting.

This lesson gives a primer to project management in a scientific context, with a particular neuroinformatic case study. 

In this lesson, you will hear about the current challenges regarding data management, as well as policies and resources aimed to address them. 

This lesson covers "Knowledge Translation", the activities involved in moving research from the laboratory, the research journal, and the academic conference into the hands of people and organizations who can put it to practical use.

In this lesson, you will hear about the various methods developed and employed in managing performance. 

This lesson provides an overview of how to manage relationships in a research context, while highlighting the need for effective communication at various levels.

In this lesson you will hear a panel discussion which hosts experts in the field whom have extensive experience with management in a science setting.

The Mouse Phenome Database (MPD) provides access to primary experimental trait data, genotypic variation, protocols and analysis tools for mouse genetic studies. Data are contributed by investigators worldwide and represent a broad scope of phenotyping endpoints and disease-related traits in naïve mice and those exposed to drugs, environmental agents or other treatments. MPD ensures rigorous curation of phenotype data and supporting documentation using relevant ontologies and controlled vocabularies. As a repository of curated and integrated data, MPD provides a means to access/re-use baseline data, as well as allows users to identify sensitized backgrounds for making new mouse models with genome editing technologies, analyze trait co-inheritance, benchmark assays in their own laboratories, and many other research applications. MPD’s primary source of funding is NIDA. For this reason, a majority of MPD data is neuro- and behavior-related.

This talk describes the NIH-funded SPARC Data Structure, and how this project navigates ontology development while keeping in mind the FAIR science principles. 

This lecture covers structured data, databases, federating neuroscience-relevant databases, and ontologies. 

This lecture covers FAIR atlases, including their background and construction, as well as how they can be created in line with the FAIR principles.

This lesson gives a description of the BrainHealth Databank, a repository of many types of health-related data, whose aim is to accelerate research, improve care, and to help better understand and diagnose mental illness, as well as develop new treatments and prevention strategies. 

This lesson corresponds to slides 46-78 of the PDF below. 

This talk goes over Neurobagel, an open-source platform developed for improved dataset sharing and searching. 

This lightning talk describes the heterogeneity of the MR field regarding types of scanners, data formats, protocols, and software/hardware versions, as well as the challenges and opportunities for unifying these datasets in a common interface, MRdataset.

This lesson describes the current state of brain-computer interface (BCI) standards, including the present obstacles hindering the forward movement of BCI standardization as well as future steps aimed at solving this problem. 

This lightning talk gives an outline of the DataLad ecosystem for large-scale collaborations, and how DataLad addresses challenges that may arise in such research cooperations.

In this lightning talk, you will learn about BrainGlobe, an initiative which exists to facilitate the development of interoperable Python-based tools for computational neuroanatomy.

This is the second of three lectures around current challenges and opportunities facing neuroinformatic infrastructure for handling sensitive data. 

This lesson provides an overview of how to conceptualize, design, implement, and maintain neuroscientific pipelines in via the cloud-based computational reproducibility platform Code Ocean. 

This lesson provides an overview of how to construct computational pipelines for neurophysiological data using DataJoint.
