The Kids First DRC’s monthly Open Office Hours are ongoing, occurring on the second Tuesday of every month, from 3:00 to 4:00pm/ET. At our Office Hours sessions, attendees have the opportunity to interface with members of the Kids First DRC’s data operations and bioinformatics teams, and to pose questions related to their Kids First projects within the Data Resource Portal, CAVATICA, and PedcBioPortal. All Kids First portal users are invited to attend, from beginners to those who are more advanced.

Recent sessions have focused on the Kids First clinical data; using phenotypes to build better queries in the Explore Data tool for analysis. Those interested in joining these monthly sessions can contact the Kids First DRC’s Scientific Community Program Manager, Dr. David Higgins at [email protected] with advanced questions or suggested discussion topics.
Those unable to join in for our live Office Hours sessions can seek assistance anytime within our new User Support Forum. There, users can pose questions, browse discussion topics, and provide insights to fellow researchers on a variety of topics, including data access and analysis, new portal features including the Variant Database and Explore Data tool, recent bug fixes, and more.
