Bio-IT Community Assessment Survey Participation and Impact Survey You are invited to participate in this Bio-IT survey if you have either previously attended or plan to attend any Bio-IT training/learning activities. Bio-IT (https://bio-it.embl.de/) is a community initiative, which aims to build, support, and promote computational biology activity at EMBL. It will take 3-5 minutes to complete this survey. We will run this survey until February 25, 2019. You can edit your response anytime before that. This survey is designed to be anonymous. Complete privacy will be maintained and no identifiable information will be shared with anyone. Your response will be used in developing Bio-IT community engagement strategies. For any additional information, please contact the coordinators of the Bio-IT project by emailing 'bio-it@embl.de'. OK Question Title * 1. What role(s) do you play in the Bio-IT community? Trainer Learner/course participant Resource developer/maintainer Bio-IT TaskForce member Networking participant Speaker of an event Supporter of it's activity I don't know Other (please specify) OK Question Title * 2. How often do you apply computational skills to your project work? A great deal (>60%) A lot (upto 40%) A moderate amount (upto 25%) A little (5-10%) None at all Other (please specify) OK Question Title * 3. Which of the following Bio-IT training events have you attended or plan to attend? Train the Trainer workshop Snakemake Version control (git, GitLab, GitHub) Galaxy training Introduction/Intermediate Python Machine Learning in R Introduction/Intermediate Cluster Computing Regular Expressions Image Analysis with Python Software/Data Carpentry Workshop Introduction/Intermediate Command Line Computing (Unix/Shell) Protein Bioinformatics Data Management Common Workflow Language Introduction/Advanced R Other (please specify) OK Question Title * 4. How important were/are these courses in contributing to your ability to carry out computational work? Extremely important Very important Somewhat important Not so important Not at all important Other response OK Question Title * 5. Has Bio-IT training had a direct impact on any of your published scientific work? (E.g. increased quality of published work, enabled you to perform additional analyses for published work, increased speed/efficiency of analyses in project.) Yes No Please provide more information here. OK Question Title * 6. Would you like to increase computational activities in your work? Yes No Other (please specify) OK Question Title * 7. If your response to the previous question is 'yes', can you specify which of the following support(s) will allow you to do that? by sharing load of non-computational work with other colleagues by having more time/opportunities to practice computational skills with others (at EMBL) in a group format (coding club, peer-mentoring) by receiving one-on-one consultation from experts in the community by receiving direct support from your supervisor by collaborating with others in a computational project by attending more specific training workshops (you can suggest topics in the 'other' field) Other (please specify) OK Question Title * 8. Which EMBL unit(s)/group(s) are you a member of? OK Question Title * 9. Gender:Note: Response to this question will allow us to evaluate our outreach efforts and develop equity strategies to provide fair opportunities for everyone. Male Female Non-binary Don't want to specify Other OK Question Title * 10. Do you belong to one or more historically underrepresented groups in STEM? (for e.g. people of color, member of LGBTQ+ community, woman in STEM etc.) Note: Response to this question will allow us to evaluate our outreach efforts and develop equity strategies to provide fair opportunities for everyone. Yes No If your response is 'yes', can you please provide more detail: OK Question Title * 11. How can we (Bio-IT coordinators) encourage you to participate further in the Bio-IT community? Are there any new activities that you'd get involved in if we introduced them?(e.g. publish your blog posts, share learning resources, help develop a specific lesson, organize a specific training or social event related to bioinformatics, invite you to speak at informal seminars etc.) OK Question Title * 12. Please share your email address if you would like to get involved in any of the Bio-IT activities mentioned in the questions and answers above.Note: You can send us a separate email at 'bio-it@embl.de' if you prefer to keep your response completely anonymous. OK Question Title * 13. Is there anything else you would like us to know? OK DONE
