The Real World Data (RWD) Workforce Development Across the Translational Spectrum Working Group will create a RWD needs assessment, resource inventory, and design a generalizable competency framework. RWD topics are expected to include, but are not limited to, data collection and provenance, clinical data models, evaluation of bias in the data, and best practices and analytic approaches that support ethical research analytics using RWD (including AI and machine learning modeling) and clinical decision support tools. This Working Group will also establish a training community that fosters knowledge and training artifact exchange.

Overview
The Real World Data (RWD) Workforce Development Across the Translational Spectrum Working Group will create a RWD needs assessment, resource inventory, and design a generalizable competency framework. RWD topics are expected to include, but are not limited to, data collection and provenance, clinical data models, evaluation of bias in the data, and best practices and analytic approaches that support ethical research analytics using RWD (including AI and machine learning modeling) and clinical decision support tools. This Working Group will also establish a training community that fosters knowledge and training artifact exchange.
Group Goals
Inventory RWD training needs across stakeholder communities, including: K and T scholars, early career researchers, CTSA and affiliated institutional leadership, local biomedical informatics faculty and staff, and other domain experts including data scientists and clinical practitioners.
Develop a RWD analytics competency framework and make recommendations for how it can be used in a variety of translational contexts and communities.
Inventory RWD educational assets and opportunities across the CTSA program in collaboration with T, K, R25, AMIA, and other programs to increase educational collaboration opportunities and promote higher-quality, accessible RWD training for diverse trainees, contexts, and institutions.
Develop a mature RWD Education Collaboration into a formal governance and coordination structure that welcomes a variety of contributors and users from multiple CTSA affiliated hubs and organizations.
