Project Lead: Vicky Hellon @vhellon

Mentor: @klauer2207

Welcome to OLS-5! This issue will be used to track your project and progress during the program. Please use this checklist over the next few weeks as you start Open Life Science program 🎉.

---

Week 1 (week starting 28 February 2022): Meet your mentor!

• Meet mentor for 30 minutes
• Create an account on GitHub
• Check if you have access to the HackMD notes set up for your meetings with your mentor
• Prepare to meet your mentor(s) by completing a short homework provided in your shared notes
• Complete your own copy of the open leadership self-assessment and share it to your mentor
  If you're a group, each teammate should complete this assessment individually. This is here to help you set your own personal goals during the program. No need to share your results, but be ready to share your thoughts with your mentor.
• Make sure you know when and how you'll be meeting with your mentor.

---

Before Week 2 (week starting 7 March 2022): Cohort Call (Welcome to Open Life Science!)

• Attend call or catch up via YouTube
• Create an issue on the OLS-5 GitHub repository for your OLS work and share the link to your mentor.
• Draft a brief vision statement using your goals
  This lesson from the Open Leadership Training Series (OLTS) might be helpful
• Leave a comment on this issue with your draft vision statement & be ready to share this on the call
• Check the Syllabus for notes and connection info for all the cohort calls.

---

Before Week 3 (week starting 14 March 2022): Meet your mentor!

• Meet mentor
• Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their vision statement
• Complete this compare and contrast assignment about current and desired community interactions and value exchanges
• Complete your Open Canvas (instructions, canvas)
• Share a link to your Open Canvas in your GitHub issue
• Start your Roadmap
• Comment on your issue with your draft Roadmap
• Suggest a cohort name at the bottom of the shared notes and vote on your favorite with a +1

---

Before Week 4: Cohort Call (Tooling and roadmapping for Open projects)

• Attend call or catch up via YouTube
• Look up two other projects and comment on their issues with feedback on their open canvas.

---

Week 5 and later

• Meet mentor
• Create a GitHub repository for your project
• Add the link to your repository in your issue- https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/turing-roche-partnership
• Use your canvas to start writing a README.md file, or landing page, for your project
• Link to your README in a comment on this issue- https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/turing-roche-partnership/blob/main/README.md
• Add an open license to your repository as a file called LICENSE.md
• Add a Code of Conduct to your repository as a file called CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
• Invite new contributors to into your work!

This issue is here to help you keep track of work as you start Open Life Science program. Please refer to the OLS-5 Syllabus for more detailed weekly notes and assignments past week 4.

Vision statement: Building a community between two organisations to share resources that will generate new insights in treatment heterogeneity to benefit both organisations and ultimately patients

Vision statement: Building a community between two organisations to share resources that will generate new insights in treatment heterogeneity to benefit both organisations and ultimately patients

Hello @vhellon , thanks for sharing your visioning statement! I am very interested to hear more about the project, I have to questions (perhaps our of ignorance). When you refer to treatment heterogeneity, what exactly do you mean? And are you focused on a specific disease area or is a broad concept?

[GemmaTuron]

Open Canvas: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1C-ApANb2VdPfPLsDTcNlz-kbur8HMJO8RrgV9kxCl0M/edit?usp=sharing

And I immediately got into your Open Canvas to learn more about the project. I think your proposal to bring two different organizations to share their expertise for the benefit of patients is great! I would perhaps on the resources section add something about the platforms for dissemination - which channels/platforms will you use to disseminate the findings of the community? Or is it going to be internal between both organisations? Then it will be more difficult to engage external researchers (from the User Profile)

[vhellon]

Thanks so much for your comments @GemmaTuron! For the term Treatment Heterogeneity we're focusing on the broad concept rather than a specific disease area- so exploring all things related to why patients respond to treatments differently. So far we've been looking into missing data in healthcare datasets and how this can affect analyses. Other topics that we are likely to explore soon include predictive modelling and using multi-modal data- hope that gives you a flavour (and happy to chat further if not)!

And thanks for your input on the Open Canvas- a really good point. Have added a brief not about dissemination but definitely something I need to consider further!

Vision statement: Building a community between two organisations to share resources that will generate new insights in treatment heterogeneity to benefit both organisations and ultimately patients

Hi, @vhellon: this sounds like a very worthwhile project and I like the aspect of connecting two organizations, I think it already gives it a great focus! I was wondering if you could specify a bit more which resources you are talking about?

[vhellon]

Thanks @lwbwalma! Internally we'll be sharing resources such as databases and knowledge exchange but we hope to translate this into external sharing through community activities such as seminar series, workshops and outputs such as publications.
(Slightly vague as we're still working it out!)

[lwalma]

Thanks @vhellon ! Amazing that you will also be doing some external sharing, I especially like the idea of a seminar series, I can imagine that a recurring event like this can really help the community building :)!

[nea-bridget]

Looks great, Vicky! Will be very interesting to see your project develop and what I could potentially learn from you in terms of your management of user channels :)
