Gender Equity in Research 2025

Registration Link: https://duke.is/n/9gn6 Join us for a transformative workshop focused on the core principles of gender equity in research. Participants will explore the profound impact of a diverse participant pool, emphasizing the significance of LGBTQIA+ representation in research. Key topics include the guiding principles for promoting gender equity in research, the importance of distinguishing between sex, gender, and sexual orientation to create a diverse and inclusive participant pool, and the value this diversity brings to research rigor and generalizability. Participants will engage with ethical considerations of using sex or gender as inclusion/exclusion criteria and learn strategies for mitigating potential harms such as misgendering or deadnaming. Attendees will examine best practices for inclusively collecting sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data, using accurate and respectful language in study protocols and participant materials, and increasing the representation of LGBTQIA+ individuals in research. Additionally, we'll discuss recent legislative impacts on clinical research and the importance of Codes of Conduct (CoCs) in protecting participants. The 5Ws Framework will also be introduced and applied to Gender Equity in Research. It is ideal for faculty, research staff, trainees, students, and community researchers who seek to develop more equitable research.
