This four-part, 8-hour unit provides a foundational understanding of implicit and explicit bias and their implications for service delivery. Participants will explore their personal perceptions and assumptions, as well as those of their organizations, and learn strategies to integrate new information and thinking into their work.

The training will build participant capacity to effectively implement, manage, and evaluate outcomes associated with implicit and explicit bias; allowing them to be able to align biases with organizational strategic plans.

Sessions will be held on Monday September 14,10am-12pm and 1-3pm, and Tuesday September 15, 10am-12pm and 1-3pm. A registration fee of $75 and attendance at all sessions are required.

This TWO-DAY (9/16 and 9/18) online course equips students to design, conduct, and critique mixed method research. From a pragmatic perspective, we will explore the strengths and weaknesses of a variety of data collection methods, and evaluate strategies for combining them. This course focuses on mixed method research designs incorporating in-depth interviews, focus groups, participant observation, archival research, survey interviews, and/or hybrid methods. The majority of the course will center on research design and data collection issues. Some time will be spent on strategies for analyzing and presenting data from multiple sources.

This course is designed for those who are relatively new to mixed method research, and interested in the principles that should guide it. Participants who come with a specific set of research questions in mind will have opportunities to apply topics of discussion to their own research ideas during the workshop. This course will count as 14.0 CSS short course credits.

TraCS Tales of Translation features experienced scientists from academia and industry discussing the many twists and turns that are a part of research careers in the life sciences. Participating scientists will be asked to speak informally about their career decisions and pivot points, what translation means to them, and their advice for early stage researchers. This week's researcher is Lisa Crose, PhD.

Crose is currently a Manager of Regulatory Affairs at Regulatory Professionals, Inc. (RPI), a consulting firm that provides regulatory expertise to the pharmaceutical industry. In this role, she supports drug development programs across therapeutic areas by developing feasibility and regulatory strategy, evaluating safety and efficacy data, preparing regulatory documents, and attending meetings on behalf of clients at the US Food and Drug Administration. Before her regulatory career, Lisa earned her Ph.D. in Pharmacology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Pediatrics at Duke University Medical Center.
