Extra Benefits of Engaging:
Improve the findability of your ITCR software or projects
Boost awareness about ITCR and your work!
Enhance usage of your software by discussing, reviewing, or writing an ITN course
Get your name and your trainees names out there as experts in particular subjects
Find new collaborators
Help motivate practices in the field
Speak at an event to showcase topics or tools
These could possibly be sponsored by ITN!
We can also provide support for workshop planning/delivery
Use our publishing tools to create content about your software
Use this to onboard people in your lab!
Use this for documentation to help people use your tools!
Looks great on applications!

Specialized Tools
If you a postdoc or grad student looking for some more writing experience? Small stipends available to write chapters for this ITCR course content. Researchers are also welcome to contribute writing as well.
Interested individuals can email cwright2@fredhutch.org about contributing.
Write a SHORT Blurb about your ITCR Tool(s)
Does your lab have a tool that is focused on a particular data type? Help us highlight your tool in the upcoming Choosing Genomics Tools course , Cancer Imaging Course, or Cancer Clinical Informatics Course.
Write 5 - 10 sentences - including any relevant links that tell:
Your name or who to attribute blurb about the tool to?
What kind of data is used by your tool?
At what point in the processing of the data is your tool useful for?
For what purpose (pre-processing, normalization, visualization, etc.)?
Where would one go to get started with your tool?
What makes your tool different than comparable tools?
Link to documentation/tutorials?
We will incorporate your tool in a course and give you credit for your contribution.
Email cwright2@fredhutch.org with your blurb.
Suggest topics for the Clinical Informatics CoursE
Does your lab specialize in clinical informatics?
Helo us identify what topics/chapters we should cover for the course.
We will give you credit for your contribution. Email cwright2@fredhutch.org with your suggestions.
