Dr. Patricia Flatley Brennan, National Library of Medicine Director and Interim Associate NIH Director for Data Science presents webinar, "DataScience@NIH: Current State, Future Directions."

Webinar Description
NIH has a strong commitment to data science and supporting discovery through data. In January 2017, as Phil Bourne left to assume an academic post, Patti Brennan was appointed interim Associate Director for Data Science at NIH. The BD2K program direction moved to DPCPSI and the remainder of the ADDS office
work, including inter-governmental collaborations, communications, policy, and training moved to the Data Science Coordinating Unit at the National Library of Medicine. In this lecture Brennan will provide an update of data science efforts at NIH, a summary of infrastructure investments designed to ensure that data are FAIR and discovery from data accelerate, and a vision for how the NLM will become the hub of data science at NIH.

About Our speaker
Patricia Flatley Brennan, RN, PhD, is the Director of the National Library of Medicine (NLM). The NLM is the world’s largest biomedical library and the producer of digital information services used by scientists, health professionals and members of the public worldwide. She assumed the directorship in August 2016. In January 2017, with the transition of the trans-NIH data science initiatives to NLM, as recommended by the NLM Working Group Report to the NIH Director, Dr. Brennan also assumed the role of NIH Interim Associate Director for Data Science (ADDS). Dr. Brennan came to NIH from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she was the Lillian L. Moehlman Bascom Professor at the School of Nursing and College of Engineering. She also led the Living Environments Laboratory at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, which develops new ways for effective visualization of high dimensional data. Dr. Brennan is a pioneer in the development of information systems for patients. She developed ComputerLink, an electronic network designed to reduce isolation and improve self-care among home care patients. She directed HeartCare, a web-based information and communication service that helps home-dwelling cardiac patients recover faster, and with fewer symptoms. She also directed Project HealthDesign, an initiative designed to stimulate the next generation of personal health records. Dr. Brennan has also conducted external evaluations of health information technology architectures and worked to repurpose engineering methods for health care. She received a master of science in nursing from the University of Pennsylvania and a PhD in industrial engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Following seven years of clinical practice
in critical care nursing and psychiatric nursing, Dr. Brennan held several academic positions at Marquette University, Milwaukee; Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland; and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A past president of the American Medical Informatics Association, Dr. Brennan was elected to the Institute of
Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences (now the National Academy of Medicine) in 2001. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, the American College of Medical Informatics, and the New York Academy of Medicine.
