Se#ng the Training Priori/es for the UK and beyond
Lee Larcombe (30 mins)
Introduc/on • ELIXIR UK training ac/vi/es have focussed on the 12
Training Sectors we defined.
• These are there to provide thema/c groupings through which we can support training ac/vi/es, and that can help guide us on the defini/on of five strategic priority areas.
• ELIXIR UK’s training deliverables are /ed to the defini/on of these five strategically-‐important areas of training need – proposed here.
• The defini/on and pursuit of five strategic areas aKer consulta/on was described in the RC funding applica/on.
How did we approach this?
• Talking to research communi/es • Surveys (both ours and others) • Engaging with Industry • Listening to experts (sector leads and others)
• Observing funding trends/ini/a/ves
Iden/fying Strategic Training Needs
The following slide shows the current Training Sectors along with five proposed strategic priority training areas for ELIXIR UK:
– Clinical Genomics – Structural Bioinforma/cs – Advanced Scien/fic Skills – Applied Genomics – Metabolomics
And two ongoing, overarching areas of ac/vity:
– Transla/onal Engagement – Community Support (TeSS)
*towards PoW5 Objec/ve 5
*Towards PoW5 Objec/ves 4 & 6
*The training objec/ves from the ELIXIR hub PoW5 document are included as an appendix to this document – these are not all specific goals for ELIXIR UK to address alone

Mapping exis/ng efforts
The following slide shows how the exis/ng efforts and ac/vi/es in ELIXIR UK training sectors fit into the proposed strategic priori/es Everyone has a role in these strategic priority areas moving forward, but it is expected that work will s/ll be developed/supported within the current thema/c sectors alongside.

Proposed Order of Priority The ELIXIR UK roadmap requires a rank order of priority to dictate implementa/on – linked to milestone points. This does not mean that #1 is more important than #2 – it is the case that we can ac/on, to the point of repor/ng, #1 quicker than #2. Priority is therefore suggested as:
1. Structural Bioinforma/cs 2. Advanced Scien/fic Skills 3. Applied Genomics 4. Clinical Genomics 5. Metabolomics
Implementa/on should mean our ability to report outputs by the milestone points – not when we start ac/vi/es. This rank order reflects both our likely ability to have reportable output AND the 6meliness/urgency of need.
Proposed Roadmap: Year 1

1. Structural Bioinforma/cs
Proposed Roadmap: Year 2 1. Structural Bioinforma/cs
2. Advanced Scien/fic Skills
3. Applied Genomics 4. Clinical Genomics
Proposed Roadmap: Year 3 4. Clinical Genomics
5. Metabolomics

Evidence/Ra/onale The following slide presents an example of the evidence and ra/onale to jus/fy the proposal of a strategic priority areas – this is incomplete and s/ll developing. Also iden/fied are people that might lead these ac/vi/es and a member of the industry panel to support each It is expected that each area will build a working party around the Lead and Industry coordinators
Example: Advanced Scien/fic Skills Community ra/onale
• Industry survey • 86.8% use excel for data analysis • 32.4% use R/Matlab • Only 26.5% write programmes • 33% have no Bioinforma/cs support
• 64% are not confident/aware of sta/s/cs
• 50% want more experimental design
• 61% want more stats • 57% want more data manipula/ons skills
• 67% want more data visualisa/on • Mick Watson’s survey • Interest in more R training • Training in Unix/Linux
Funding ra/onale
• BBSRC • Data driven biology
• NERC (2012 skills survey) • Cri/cal skills gaps • Data management • Numeracy
• BIS -‐ Science Industry Partnership
People
• Lead: TBC • Industry: GSK– Samiul Hasan
Gabriella Rus/ci will talk more about the Industry Survey
Interconnected Training in the UK
Reaching out to Europe
The ELIXIR Training Coordinator Commipee will be key to this – Rita Hendricusdo#r will talk about this more
Building Interna/onal Reach
• SoKware carpentry • Data carpentry • SCF • NIH BD2K ini/a/ves
Current training achievements in these sectors will feed into Advanced Scien/fic Skills – becoming a model for interna/onal outreach in other priority areas
Next Steps • Present these to the Industry panel for support
• Build on the Evidence/Ra/onale
• Define the working groups for each area
• Start to iden/fy European Node partners
• Get working !
