ITHS offers a variety of seminars and workshops which cover multiple topics and are intended to reach different members of the research team.
ITHS and its partners have created several resources to build awareness about research careers, support onboarding of new research assistants and coordinators and provide on-demand training for existing research coordinators.
The ITHS Career Development Series consists of lectures and workshops designed to provide junior faculty and investigators with tools, a forum for discussion, and learning opportunities to help advance their careers.
ITHS Team Science education and training is offered to support the development, performance, and recognition of high functioning interdisciplinary research teams.
Our Clinical Research Boot Camp is an annual workshop designed as an introduction for faculty, staff, and post-doctoral fellows to learn all that is involved in designing and managing a clinical trial.
CRISP is a 3-week long program that will provide physician clinical investigators with hands-on experience and key clinical research skills to accelerate their career development.
This training module is designed to explore a research recruitment tool by using REDCap to build a pre-screening survey or registry.
How can your team accelerate its effectiveness in working together to achieve your shared goals? In this session, we will examine three key “Enabling Conditions” from the Six Conditions for Team Effectiveness Framework:
At the end of this session, you will have a clearer idea of how each of these enabling conditions contributes to team development and effectiveness, as well as practical ways to make improvements.
This is the third session of the 2025–2026 Team Science Seminar Series. Scroll down to register!
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
