Join Tufts CTSI for a hands-on workshop practicing informed consent conversations with past research participants. The workshop is blended synchronous/asynchronous with a live session Tuesday, October 14, 2025, 2–4 p.m. via Zoom. Both experienced and new research staff who participate in consent conversations are encouraged to register on I LEARN by Monday, October 13. 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 roleplay activity is required. You will also learn by providing feedback to others and engaging in group discussions. 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 one and two 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.

While the written word has often dominated the response to this question, podcasting as a path to share scholarship beyond the walls of the academy is gaining momentum. Join us for an evening of discussion around expanding the scholarly conversation, bias in academic publishing, and ways the MyTERN Conversation podcast helps enact restorative justice. We'll hear from Harrison Inefuku as he shares insights from his work on this topic, particularly his writing “Relegated to the Margins.” This year's MyTERN Fellows Rocio Lopez and Jason Stiles will share their experiences recording, editing, and publishing the MyTERN Conversations podcast, and attendees will enjoy a gallery crawl of an exhibit focused around season five of MyTERN Conversations. Light snacks and beverages provided.

India has the world’s largest TB epidemic, accounting for one-quarter of TB incidence and one-third of TB deaths globally. Given that TB is highly curable in the vast majority of cases, improving implementation of health services in resource-constrained settings is critical for bending the curve to accelerate TB elimination. This talk will focus on the World Health Organization SORT IT model of capacity building in operational research in low- and middle-income countries. Using case studies, this talk will highlight the role of operational research in shaping health care delivery and provide examples of how this research approach transformed key policies within India’s National TB Elimination Programme. Jaya Prasad Tripathy is an associate professor at the Department of Community Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Nagpur, India. He serves as a clinician at the Fever, Preventative, and Immunization Clinic; a manager in charge at a primary health center providing service for approximately 70,000 people; and a researcher and teacher for MD, MPH, and PhD courses. He previously worked as a senior operational research fellow with the International Union Against TB and Lung Disease (the Union), where he mentored operational research projects in TB, HIV, and malaria in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ethiopia, Myanmar, and Nepal, in collaboration with their national programs. He is a senior mentor for the SORT IT training program within the World Health Organization Special Training Program for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases. He has over 200 peer-reviewed articles and has managed projects funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, Department for International Development, and United States Agency for International Development.
