Join the CTSC for three READI workshops this fall. Each of our educational programming tracks serves as an introduction to topics within three spaces: (1) Research Policy Impact, (2) Special Populations, or (3) Community Engagement.
If you’ve joined us for a webinar within one or more of these tracks, you’ll notice that our presenters usually have a tool they share or strategy they recommend to our research community. To ensure that we help catalyze action on those insights, we’re hosting three live and in person READI workshops to help put the puzzle together as we strive toward building more equitable, accessible, diversity, and inclusive research programs and studies.
Each workshop will have an American Sign Language interpreter on site via the Cleveland Hearing & Speech Center.
Continuing Research Education Credit (CREC) and Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits will be available for participation.
