Faculty Career Development Series
The ITHS Career Development Series consist of monthly lectures and workshops designed to provide junior faculty and investigators with tools, a forum for discussion, and learning opportunities to help advance their careers.
Topics
Topics are selected based on an annual needs assessment.
Example topics include:
- How to Write an NIH K Award
- Making the Most of your Mentor Relationship
- Mastering Public Speaking as a Researcher
- Communicating your Findings Visually
- What really happens in an NIH Study Review
Where can I find a CDS event?
ITHS partners with several UW campus and WWAMI regional partners to ensure we reach and engage the translational workforce with each series. CDS events occur across the main UW campus, in the UW Medicine South Lake Union building, and are often captured on video and edited for online distribution to our regional partners. Many of our offerings are also broadcast live as webinars to allow for flexible viewing opportunities. Check out the calendar for specific upcoming event topics and locations.

Description
How early is too early to contact your biostatistician? We would say it is never too early! In this session, we will go over some of the basics of what a biostatistician can help you with, what should be prepared beforehand, what to expect during your first consultation, general guidelines for timelines, and some frequently asked questions that you may run into along the way. After this presentation, attendees will have an opportunity to ask questions about biostatistical consultations within ITHS and across other ITHS-affiliated institutions.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
- List at least two study/research characteristics that a (bio)statistican will need to know about for any consultation
- Identify two tasks that may need to be completed before an initial consultation
- Describe the collaborative nature of the scientist-statistician relationship
Schedule of Activities

Description
Welcome to ITHS’s 2023-2024 Team Science Seminar Series. This 10-part series will be held on the first Thursday of every month from 12–1 pm PT. Participants who attend 80% (8 out of the 10) of the seminars will receive a certificate of completion provided by the ITHS Team Science program.
The Seminar Series has been developed to cultivate the next generation of translational team scientists and leaders through Team Science education, training, and leadership development. Participation in this series will support the acquisition of individual team science competencies that will help guide and shape current and future collaborations and relationships across disciplines. Using feedback from 2022-2023 Team Science Seminar Series’ participants and a consultant, we have enhanced our content and approach. We look forward to engaging with you in Year 2 of our Team Science Seminar Series.
This session is the first talk for the 2023-2024 Team Science Seminar Series. We will discuss the rationale for why team science is important and how it relates to your work and research.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the goals and approach of the new Team Science Seminar Series.
- Discuss the benefits and challenges of teamwork in various contexts.
- Identify skills needed to collaborate effectively.
- Discuss the recommendations from the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine on facilitating interdisciplinary research and education
