Does your research work involve recruiting human research volunteers?

Join Tufts CTSI for a blended synchronous/asynchronous workshop focused on providing hands-on practice consenting simulated research participants. This two-part training includes a short online tutorial followed by a live Zoom meeting where you will practice obtaining informed consent with community members, many of whom have been research participants themselves.  This is a learning and skill building opportunity for you and will not be evaluated in any way.

Participants must complete all of the pre-work on Tufts CTSI I LEARN in order to receive the Zoom link for the live training. While in the live workshop your active participation in the live role-play activity is required. You will also learn through providing feedback to others and engaging in group discussion. This will ensure that you get the most out of what this training has to offer.

Clinical research coordinators, investigators, research fellows, research nurses, and anyone involved in obtaining informed consent are encouraged to attend. This workshop is great for both new staff and as a refresher for more experienced staff.

By the end of this workshop, participants of Parts 1 & 2 will be able to:

• List the essential elements of informed consent.
• Demonstrate (using plain language) in explaining the informed consent process, in a virtual setting.
• Demonstrate multiple techniques to verify participants’ comprehension.
• Identify 2-3 key considerations for obtaining informed consent in a remote or virtual setting.

The Qualitative Research Interest Group (QRIG) is an interprofessional group united by an interest in qualitative approaches to health research. Qualitative researchers at MaineHealth Institute for Research and the Center for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Northwest co-host the group. All are welcome.

The group meets through Microsoft Teams on the fourth Thursday of every month at 4:00PM-5:00PM EDT.

The next Qualitative Research Interest Group Meeting will take place Thursday, Ocotber 23 at 4:00PM EDT (1:00PM PST).

 

October 2025 Meeting Information

At the October QRIG Meeting, we’ll hear from Rose Gunn, MA. Rose is a qualitative research scientist at OCHIN, a health informatics non-profit that serves a national network of community health centers. The presentation will provide an overview of human-centered design approaches that leverage qualitative methods to co-design interventions that prioritize the needs and experiences of care teams, patients, and communities. Topics will cover a brief background of human-centered design, provide a lexicon for commonly used terminology, identify design tools that can be used in conjunction with qualitative methods, and examples of practical applications in a research setting. A large part of the meeting will be devoted to group discussion of lessons learned from previous experiences, challenges, and ideas for future directions

Join the meeting via Microsoft Teams.
