2023 SPARC FAIR Codeathon

When: 05/08/2023 to 07/08/2023

Where: Virtual



Join the third global SPARC “FAIR” Codeathon
<https://sparc.science/news-and-events/events/2023sparc-codeathon>, a
three-day virtual event this August 5th-7th!


The SPARC Data and Resource Center, with funding from the National
Institutes of Health, will host a 3-day in-the-cloud Codeathon. It is free
to enter and has a total prize pool of US$50,000 (including cash prizes and
manuscript publication fees).



Competitors from the United States and abroad are eligible. We encourage
researchers and data scientists at any stage of their scientific journey to
apply. Before the event we will create up to 30 teams of five to
six individuals, each with various backgrounds and expertise, led by an
experienced leader. The teams will greatly benefit from anyone with the
following skills:



   - Understanding of neuroscience and/or neurostimulation
   - Data visualization
   - Data mining, image and text analysis
   - Working knowledge of scripting languages (eg., Shell, Python, R)
   - Familiarity with methods of manipulating and/or analyzing large
   datasets ( AI/ML, computational modeling, etc.)
   - Developing bioinformatics code, pipelines or tools
   - Knowledge graphs
   - Web development



Applications are due 20/07/2023.

What is SPARC?

The Stimulating Peripheral Activity to Relieve Conditions (SPARC)
<https://commonfund.nih.gov/sparc> program is supported by the NIH Common
Fund <https://commonfund.nih.gov/> to provide a scientific and
technological foundation for future bioelectronic medicine devices and
protocols.  The goal of the SPARC program is to identify neural targets and
accelerate the development of therapeutic devices that modulate electrical
activity in the vagus and other nerves to help treat diseases and
conditions, such as hypertension and gastrointestinal disorders, by
precisely adjusting organ function.
