The HeartShare Research Skills Program is a 1-year, full-time research fellowship intended for post-doctoral trainees interested in gaining clinical research skills in data science. The program includes an intensive 3-month bootcamp led by the Northwestern Computer Science Department in which trainees will receive hands-on training in data management, programming, and application of machine learning and artificial intelligence approaches to clinical research in data science. The remaining 9 months will be dedicated to completing a mentored research project related to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, using the approaches they learned in the data science bootcamp. Fellows will be paired with one clinical mentor and one data science mentor, and will be expected to attend monthly virtual work-in-progress and career development meetings, as well as HeartShare committee meetings relevant to their proposed research project. Fellows will have access to electronic health record data compiled for HeartShare to use for their research project, with an overall goal of being immersed in the HeartShare research environment.
