Work-in-Progress Sessions
Our WIP sessions take place twice a month on Tuesdays from 3:00pm-4:00pm CT. These sessions provide members with an opportunity to present research ideas and projects, receive feedback from peers and senior leaders, and engage in collaborative discussion. This series has been instrumental in refining and advancing work that has gone on to become award-winning projects.
The first session of each month will be jointly hosted by the Center for Health Services & Outcomes Research (CHSOR) and the Center for Dissemination and Implementation Science (CDIS) in a hybrid format.
If you would like to present at one of our sessions, please email Carolyn Schafer at carolyn.schafer@northwestern.edu or Norrina Allen at norinna-allen@northwestern.edu
