During the tranSMART Annual Meeting 2015, Kees van Bochove, chair of the tranSMART Foundation Architecture Working Group, presented on current tranSMART development highlights, which illustrate how the tranSMART core database layer and APIs enables a range of varying translational research applications.
During the tranSMART Annual Meeting 2015, a hackathon will take place for developers to work an a few proof of concepts innovations around tranSMART, also preparing for the future 2.0 version of the platform. There will be two main topics during this hackathon, one catering to backend and one more to frontend developers.
The topics are:
building a POC around using SparkR on Amazon EC2 as a computational backend for tranSMART 1.3
improving the visual analytics in tranSMART, by updating or adding analytics workflows in the SmartR plugin
The reason for choosing these topics are:
For SparkR: Spark is the most active project in data science at the moment, with a lot of innovation and big names behind it. It makes sense to explore how we can optimally leverage this in the next version of the tranSMART platform. For this hackathon, a specific proposal has been prepared to use SparkR on top of the tranSMART core API to take advantage of the parallelization and lazy execution capabilities of Spark.
For Visual Analytics: the analytics in tranSMART are useful to get a quick overview of the data available in the platform, and one of the most visible and useful capabilities for early adopters to understand the value of the platform. The recently developed SmartR plugin (presented elsewhere in the meeting) provides already a few interactive analytics workflows, improving those and adding new ones is identified as a good opportunity for the hackathon.
Ideas for specific analytics workflows to work on are most welcome, and of course we are looking forward to welcome again both beginners and tranSMART developer ninja's in this years' sessions!

With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

Although society is overwhelmed with an overload of legal information, only legal experts can follow the latest legislation and case law produced by parliaments and courts on a national and on a European level. Accurate, target-orientated, and timely information is needed by EU institutions but also by member states, local administrations, businesses and citizens
Such, by policy makers required and/or produced data, is increasingly embedded in large amounts of textual data available on the Internet.
Due to the sheer volume of data, the manual extraction of the relevant data it contains is nearly impossible. Text mining and analysis tools become necessary to address the problem of volume, of currentness, and in order to provide the right information in the proper format.
