The central focus of Dr. Harris’ research is informatics methodologies including the terminology systems and standards that facilitate data integration and interoperability. In addition, she has deep practical experience related to clinical systems, and the integration, modeling and reuse of data in clinical information systems, and for research ‘at scale’. Her research has been funded by NIH, AHRQ, CDC, RWJF, PCORI, and both Mayo Clinic and the University of Michigan.
Current Research Grants and Programs
- NIH/NHGRI: U01 HG009454-01 Metadata applications on Informed Consent to Facilitate Biorepository Data Regulation and Sharing (Co-I/Site PI)
- University of Michigan Institute for Data Science (MIDAS), Michigan Center for Health Analytics and Medical Prediction (M-CHAMP) (Co-PI)
Teaching
Dr. Harris teaches across informatics, research and leadership courses at the University of Michigan School of Nursing. Broadly, the nursing courses address the theoretical, empirical, and practice foundations of the discipline. The informatics courses address both clinical and clinical research informatics, evaluation and sociotechnical components of systems. While in academia, she has mentored and chaired committees for multiple postdoc, Ph.D., DNP, Master's students and international scholars; she is extremely proud of all these students have accomplished and contributed!
