Thursday, December 10, 1-2:30pm ET / 12-1:30pm CT / 11am-12:30pm MT / 10-11:30am PT

We’ll use the usual Zoom room, and Zoom’s new support for self-select breakout rooms, with rooms designated for following topics: Main Room: Greetings, Hors D’oeuvres, and Games; SC After-Party; People Network Brainstorm (share your ideas!); All About CaRCC Working and Interest Groups.

Creating a standard Vocabulary: the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS)

David Anderson from the National Library of Medicine will present on the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS).

David will provide a basic overview of the UMLS including its history and use cases.

Emerging Centers Track (third Wednesdays)

Wednesday, December 16, 12p ET/ 11a CT/ 10a MT/ 9a PT

NSF Program Directors – Campus Cyberinfrastructure (CC*) NSF 21-528

You will not want to miss this call! The NSF CC* program is a perfect program for emerging centers to begin developing their research partnerships and center resources.

Kevin L. Thompson, NSF CISE/OAC and Deepankar (Deep) Medhi, NSF CISE/CNS, will share information about the recently released CC* Program solicitation and answer any questions you may have.  Jen Schopf, Director of EPOC, will then answer some commonly asked questions that EPOC has heard from previous submitters to the CC* program.  She will briefly explain how the EPOC program experts can assist you in the development of your proposal.   

We encourage previous recipients of the award to share any lessons learned or tips and tricks for developing a successful proposal.
