Why dkNET Data Searchathon and what to expect?

In each 20 minute session, we will briefly describe a biomedical research question. The participants will then use dkNET (NIDDK Information Network, https://dknet.org), an NIH funded tool, to find datasets relevant to the question and provide minimal information about the data that is found. The goal is to help the scientific community by providing information on biomedical data that are available to them.

Register here. Registration is not required, but this will help us to prepare for the event. Thanks!
