ITHS offers a variety of seminars and workshops which cover multiple topics and are intended to reach different members of the research team.
ITHS hosts learning opportunities throughout the year, encouraging research professionals of all levels of experience to network and engage with peers, exchange ideas, and hone professional skills.
The ITHS Career Development Series consist 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.
This seventh session of the Team Science Seminar Series 2023–2024 will provide an overview of the current landscape and efforts by the ITHS Team Science core and colleagues to promote the recognition of interdisciplinary collaborative research in the Promotion and Tenure (PT) processes at the UW and beyond. The ITHS Team Science Core will describe why interdisciplinary collaborative research is critical to solving current complex scientific challenges and how recognizing and rewarding this work in PT processes is critical to encouraging the success of interdisciplinary teams. They will present strategies for faculty promotion candidates, department chairs, and deans to recognize and support interdisciplinary collaborative research in promotion processes. Strategies for writing goal statements, annotating CVs, and soliciting external reviewers’ expert at interdisciplinary research will be discussed during the session. Participants will also have the opportunity to sign-up for an interdisciplinary collaborative research PT Special Interest Group where you can learn more about future workshops and offerings.
At the end of the session, participants will be able to:
