Training and scientific consultation

OARC works with Rutgers researchers to help you get the most from the systems, tools, and processes that we manage, including Amarel for research computing and data analytics, REDCap for clinical survey data management, and clinical informatics applications which may include use of CRDW. OARC research scientists are domain experts with many years of research experience who help users improve their data management and scientific computation workflows.

This team has produced and run regular trainings on topics such as:

  • Research Computing and OARC Systems
  • Introduction to Linux from the Command-Line
  • Managing Software and Data on OARC Systems
  • Machine Learning
  • Cloud 101
  • Computational Genomics (a Multi-day workshop)
  • Information Security for Research
  • REDCap (multiple levels)
  • Mastering Data Management and Transfers
