NEWS:
Updated HCUP Sample Design Tutorial Available
Changes to the HCUP Sample Design Tutorial recently have been implemented to account for HCUP updates. This tutorial provides an in-depth explanation of the sampling strategy for the National Inpatient Sample (NIS), the KID, and the NEDS. Specifically, the module helps users achieve three important goals:
- Understand the sample designs for three of the HCUP nationwide databases
- Understand how the sample designs can influence which database is best for your research
- Avoid common errors that result from misunderstanding the sample design
The Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) is another HCUP nationwide database but is not covered in the HCUP Sample Design Tutorial. For more information on the NRD sample design, please visit the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) Tutorial.
The HCUP Sample Design and NRD Tutorials, along with other helpful HCUP interactive courses, can be found on the HCUP Online Tutorial Series homepage.

Tools of the Trade: Understanding the Review Process, Grants and Manuscripts
When: Tuesday, February 5, 2019
Time: 8 AM to Noon
Where: BRT room 115
The Center for Clinical & Translational Science presents Tools of the Trade: Understanding the Review Process, Grants and Manuscripts. Investigators with years of experience on NIH study sections will inform attendees about: the administrative process of grant review at agencies; the reviewer perspective; and interpreting and responding to critiques. Journal editors will then address participants on how they can get their research published, addressing issues such as choosing a journal; the review process at journals; and writing responses to reviewer comments. Those most likely to benefit from attending are junior faculty, postdocs, and graduate students.
