What is the NED Conference?
The ITHS Research Coordinator Networking to Enhance Development (NED) Conference is an annual, day‐long professional development conference for research coordinators held in Seattle. Participants attend both general sessions and choose relevant breakout sessions to expand their knowledge and skills. A catered lunch and collaborative activities offer coordinators a chance to develop contacts, share ideas, and learn from peers.
The NED Conference is organized by research coordinators in the Institute of Translational Health Sciences and is a collaboration between the University of Washington, Fred Hutch, and Seattle Children’s.
About the showcase
Research professionals are at the frontline of research and are often responsible for identifying procedures to improve work. During the NED conference, ITHS will host a platform for research professionals to share their own experience in making a difference in research. The theme of this showcase is Best Practices, and the purpose is to explore how individuals and groups solve problems in their work by implementing best practices. Best practices are procedures that produce optimal results that become an accepted procedure.
Best practice exhibits will be displayed on poster boards, and the showcase will be hosted prior to lunch, from 11:50 am -12:20 pm. At least one author must be present with their best practice exhibit as people walk through the session.
This networking session will provide an opportunity for analysis and conversation about problem-solving strategies to improve research practices.
Goals of the Best Practices Showcase
- Provide networking opportunities
- Disseminate knowledge and tools
- Showcase problem-solving strategies that can be generalized to other research areas
