There is an urgent need to develop diverse, equitable, and collaborative research teams to improve research impact and health outcomes.

However, several barriers remain to achieving this goal, including implementation of strategies for creating an equitable and inclusive research team

Evidence of a well-founded approach to scientific collaboration and research project management is increasingly a funder requirement and a focus of reviewer attention.

Tufts CTSI invites you to join us for a workshop “Fundamentals for Building Inclusive Research Teams” on Friday, March 31st and Friday, April 7th, 2023, 11:00am – 12:00pm. This workshop will share practical skills for building collaborative and inclusive research teams.

Participants will learn about fostering teams that welcome diverse identities, working and learning styles, disciplines, and forms of knowledge. The format will involve case studies, presentations, a panel discussion, and reflection/discussion.

Topics covered will include:

• Cultural humility as a basis for equitable collaboration

• Creating, supporting, and sustaining cohesive, equitable, and collaborative research teams

• Leveraging a team’s diversity to improve translational research

Participants will leave with tools and frameworks that will help them implement a plan to operationalize skills learned.

Learning Objectives

• Describe strategies that promote equitable collaboration
• Apply best practices for building diverse, collaborative research teams

Who should attend:

Investigators with varied research collaboration experience and varied disciplinary interests, as well as research staff and others responsible for supporting collaborative research projects are encouraged to attend.

Time commitment and expectation for attendees

This workshop will be held remotely via Zoom over two separate 1-hour sessions. Registrants should plan to attend both.
