Big Data to Knowledge (BD2K) Training Coordinating Center (TCC) exists to equip current and future generations of biomedical researchers with tools to navigate the rapidly evolving and increasingly complex ecosystem of data science. As ever-larger quantities of data are obtained and generated by diverse domains ranging from genomics to health informatics to environmental research, powerful new methods have emerged for confronting critical research questions through the exploration, preparation, analysis, visualization and interpretation of Big Data. The TCC is a multifaceted program with key projects including a personalized online educational platform, science rotations, indexing of BD2K Big Data resources, evaluations, community outreach, and coordinated training with BD2K partners through the BD2K Centers-Coordination Center (BD2KCCC).
