Subject matter experts will be online and happy to help you navigate the RISC tools and services available to support research and innovation, discuss problems and answer questions. 

This month, stop by for consultation on the following apps and services:

  • Research Patient Data Registry (RPDR) & Biobank Portal: The Research Patient Data Registry (RPDR) is a centralized clinical data registry, or data warehouse that gathers clinical information from various Partners hospital systems. The Biobank Portal is a tool that links consented subjects from the Partners Biobank with their health care data from the electronic medical record (EMR).
  • R is a free, open-source programming language and software environment for statistical computing and graphics. The R User Group seeks to bring this community together to share ideas, discuss R related topics, and provide direction for new and experienced users. 
  • REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture) is a free, web-based software application for study data. Stop by for a consult on building your surveys or forms, new features or best practices.
  • The ERISOne Linux Cluster is a computing cluster with a job scheduling system for batch jobs and remote desktops for graphical applications, running on a Linux OS. Our Scientific Computing Team will be on hand to answer questions about ERISOne and the suite of computational resources available to you.
  • Python is a programming language that lets you work quickly and integrate systems more effectively. Ask questions and get support for use of Python and Jupyter Hub on the ERISOne Linux Cluster. Learn about the Python User Group.
  • LabArchives is a web-based application designed for scientists to organize and share laboratory data with their study team, department, across Partners institutions and with external collaborators. 

No appointment necessary. We hope to see you then!
