Bioinformatics Training and Education Program

Learn Bioinformatics Skills with Coursera – licenses are available

Dataquest licenses are no longer available. If you currently have a Dataquest license, you can continue using it until Sept 15, 2025.

The Coursera platform contains thousands of courses developed by experts all over the world and includes lessons and certificates in programming, AI, genomics, bioinformatics, and data science. In Coursera, you are guided by videos as you go through the content.  You type in the commands as you learn in an interactive window. When you sign up for a class, you are given weekly deadlines for completion of lessons, but you can add on more time as necessary to work at your own pace.

When you finish a class, Coursera offers online certificates that you can add to your resume or CV.

There is no cost to learners for these licenses.

In order to maximize usage of the licenses, we ask that you contact us if you will no longer be using the license. If there is no activity on your license for a period of 60 days, it may be recycled to a new user. All of your progress on the platform will be saved and you can rejoin at any time.

If you’re interested in a Coursera license, please fill out the application here using your NIH email address. Coursera licenses are provided by the NIH Office of Data Science Strategy.

You will receive an invitation email from Coursera when your license is ready. Please check all your email folders. Coursera licenses are available to anyone within intramural NIH that has an “nih.gov” email address. If you have questions about the licenses, please contact us at ncibtep@nih.gov
