Cornell Translational Research Summer Institute Doing Research in Real-World Settings: Tools and Techniques for Success
June 26, 2019 - June 28, 2019
What is it?
The Bronfenbrenner Center for Translational Research in collaboration with the Translational Research Institute for Pain in Later Life (TRIPLL) is offering its 2nd annual Cornell Translational Research Summer Institute (CTRSI) from June 26th-28th, 2019 at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Over several decades, the Bronfenbrenner Center has developed extensive expertise in conducting research in real-world settings and translating empirical findings into practice. The 2019 CTRSI will provide intensive training, discussion, and reflection on overcoming typical challenges in conducting research in real-world settings like service agencies, health care institutions, community organizations, and in other non-academic settings.
Who is it for?
The CTRSI is ideal for early-career researchers (including advanced graduate students and post-docs) interested in conducting research in real-world settings and for established investigators who wish to develop expertise in conducting research with communities, agencies, and organizations.
How do I register?
Registration for this event will open November 15th. Registration will be capped at 60 to assure a satisfying and productive participant experience. All registration information will be reviewed to assure representation across diverse professional backgrounds and participation goals. Acceptance status will be announced by January 30th. Payment is not due until registration is approved. For further information, please contact Janis Whitlock at jlw43@cornell.edu.
What will it cover?
The 2.5-day intensive will help researchers create effective strategies for the following:
- Building effective research relationships with agencies and organizations
- Recruiting and retaining diverse community participants
- Anticipating and dealing with Human Subjects challenges
- Creating dissemination plans for maximum impact
- Successful grant-writing for translational research
- Publishing and career management issues in translational research
Each session of CTRSI 2019 will cover core principles and practices as well as solutions to key challenges researchers face in doing translational research. Using a workshop format, sessions will be tailored to address specific participant cases and challenges, while also providing general tips, tools, and techniques. By keeping enrollment limited, we will offer personalized feedback and address issues and challenges participants bring from their own work.
