GDB User Support, Registration

To become a registered user of GDB and OMIM, contact one of the User Support offices listed below (a user may register to access both Baltimore and a remote node). Questions, problems, or user-registration requests may be sent by telephone, fax, or e-mail.(For a complete E-Mail listings see E-Mail Addresses below.) User-registration requests should include name, institutional affiliation, and title (if applicable), street address (no P.O. box numbers), telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address.

GDB, OMIM Training Schedule
Comprehensive hands-on training courses on the use of GDB and OMIM will have at least one computer work-station for two participants. Registrants will receive at least 3 weeks notice if insufficient registration causes class cancellation.

The general course for scientific users provides a basic understanding of the databases and relationships among different types of data.

Courses are free, but attendees must pay their own travel and lodging expenses. Hotel information and directions will be mailed with registration materials.

As interest in GDB continues to grow, organizations around the world will offer training that requires access to GDB in Baltimore. Notifying GDB User Support about planned training activities will enable the staff to ensure database availability by scheduling maintenance and repairs at other times.
