Description: The NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research, in partnership with the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute on Drug Abuse, present a meeting on Opportunities in Data Visualization and Visual Analytics for Behavioral and Social Science Research. The meeting will explore the use of data visualization and visual analytics software in the context of health-related behavioral and social science research. Although this conference will highlight the use of visualization and visual analytics to facilitate both communication and data analysis, the emphasis will be on the power these tools hold to elucidate complex data from behavioral and social science research in new ways to advance public health. Specifically, this workshop seeks to: (a) Highlight existing developments in the field of data visualization and visual analytics (b) Provide an overview of current challenges and opportunities in statistical methodologies such as geographic analyses and longitudinal social networks that might be advanced through better visualization tools (c) Identify relevant areas of behavioral and social science research supported by NIH that are highly complex and could make the best use of data visualization and visual analytics.
