COLLABORATIVE CONVERSATIONS:
The purpose of this meeting is to use an Un-Meeting format to enhance focused discussions on topics related to workforce development for clinical research professionals (CRPs) working in academic medical centers (AMCs), especially those that are working on federally-funded clinical research.
Originally planned as a face-to-face half-day event, we are now converting these collaborative conversations into a series of virtual sessions, continuing to use un-meeting principles.
Key Goal
Key Goal
To share perspectives on the challenges and successes in developing the Clinical Research Professional (CRP) workforce within federally-funded institutions, with a focus on developing actionable ways to drive improvement.
(Note, this meeting replaces the April 2020 that was cancelled due to COVID-19).
Objectives
Objectives
Through active collaborative conversations in the “Virtual Un-Meeting”, participants will:
- Summarize the historical evolutions of clinical research professional workforce development and professionalization.
- Learn and apply the “Un-Meeting” process as a method of team science collaboration and communication.
- Contribute to key discussions, solution finding and collaborations for key topics related to clinical research professional workforce development, especially focusing on the academic medical center workforce.
- Impact future initiatives and research by becoming a member of new interactive teams, participating in key meeting outputs or generating local outputs.
The Un-Meeting Concept
The Un-Meeting Concept
The Un-Meeting is different from a traditional passive conference. Rather, this is a highly interactive meeting whereby attendees create and drive the topic discussions surrounding a common theme. This enables attendees to discuss their experiences, identify areas of potential research, innovation, & collaboration. This will cultivate connections across the clinical research professionals and CTSA hubs. It further enhances team science through the collaborative nature of the format.
Each of us knows some [aspects] but not the other. Together we can educate each other and add to what we don’t know.
For additional information on the Un-Meeting process, the Center for Leading Innovation & Collaboration (CLIC) has prepared an Un-Meeting planning guide. The aim of this Un-Meeting will be to enhance clinical research professional workforce development through the creation of sustainable, collaborative relationships and initiatives. Outputs from this Un-Meeting may range from: White Papers, Collaborations, Initiatives, and connections. This video illustrates the Un-Meeting process.

Event Description
Research is a driver of evidence-based practice across the region and at each of our institutions. Individual research studies can impact the treatment of disease and patient outcomes. Research centers, like members of the NW PCI Network, can impact how research is conducted collectively across all studies that pass through our doors. Our 10th NW PCI Network Annual Meeting will focus on how we, as a network, can expand engagement of our patients and research volunteers and strengthen the scientific rigor and generalizability of our best practices. Come prepared to be both a learner and a teacher as we continue our journey into the next decade!
Invite Research Participants
We all know the perspectives of patients and research participants are critical to ensure the quality of research at our institutions. We want to hear their voices, too!
Travel to Spokane
ITHS will support travel and one night of lodging (unless travel requires two nights) for one site champion and up to two research participants from each NW PCI member site. ITHS will cover your airfare and lodging, as well as related travel expenses (i.e., ground transportation, per diem and airport parking). Additional representatives from your organization are welcome to attend at their own expense.

Description
Many people know that an elevator pitch is important but may not know how to create one or the myriad of situations in which one can be used. Also, the delivery of the pitch is just as important as the content (sometimes even more so)!

The workshop will be interactive so individuals can identify their strengths and challenges and learn from each other, and practice delivering their pitch and receive feedback.
Pre-Work

Description
During our second (out of 10) Team Science Seminar Series, we will focus on self-awareness – the ability to see our own values, aspirations, reactions (including thoughts, behaviors, feelings, strengths and weaknesses), and understand how other people view us in terms of those factors. Leaders should actively work on both seeing themselves clearly and getting feedback to understand how others see them. Although most people believe they are self-aware, research shows that only 10 to 15% of people actually fit the criteria of being self-aware.
