Bioinformatics Training and Education Program (BTEP)
BTEP works closely with CCBR to help CCR scientists understand and conduct bioinformatics analyses, building the foundational knowledge needed for effective collaboration and informed interpretation of results.
Workshops & Courses
Hands-on training in Bulk RNA-seq, R/Bioconductor, Python, single-cell analysis, and more — offered throughout the year on campus and virtually.
Seminars & Lectures
Invited speaker seminars, journal clubs, and topical lectures. All events listed on the NIH Bioinformatics Calendar.
Online Learning Resources
Self-paced tutorials on NIDAP and the BTEP website, including recorded workshops, slide decks, and code notebooks.
Scientific Software Catalog
A curated catalog of commercial and open-source bioinformatics tools, with descriptions, use cases, and documentation links.
NIDAP Training
NIDAP training helps CCR researchers learn how to access the platform, launch supported workflows, interpret outputs, and use shared analysis spaces effectively.
Training topics
- NIDAP onboarding and workspace navigation
- Running supported CCBR workflows on the platform
- Reviewing interactive outputs and shared project spaces
- Using training materials, tutorial notebooks, and BTEP course content
For platform details, transition updates, and a general overview of NIDAP, see Resources > NIDAP Platform.
