“…Other funded programs have been developed and implemented to train and mentor palliative care leaders (Cruz-Oliver et al 2017;Dahlin et al 2019;Kamal et al 2016), oncology clinical investigators (Von Hoff et al 2021), geriatric nurse leaders and researchers (Bellot et al 2013;Beverly and Harden 2020;Brody et al 2016;Bryant et al 2015;Fagin 2012;Franklin et al 2011;Harden and Watman 2015), nursing students (Flynn 2015;Gillett et al 2022) and nurse faculty scholars (Brody et al 2017;Campbell et al 2017;Hickey et al 2014;McBride et al 2017), but few include an intensive mentored experience with the aim of developing a protocol or grant proposal in a short period of time. The Workshop on RMSO appears to be meeting a need for early-career investigators as evidenced by its demand and its evaluations.…”

Objectives Since 2015, the Harvard Workshop on Research Methods in Supportive Oncology has trained early-career investigators in skills to develop rigorous studies in supportive oncology. This study examines workshop evaluations over time in the context of two factors: longitudinal participant feedback and a switch from in-person to virtual format during the COVID pandemic. Methods We examined post-workshop evaluations for participants who attended the workshop from 2015 to 2021. We qualitatively analyzed evaluation free text responses on ways in which the workshop could be improved and “other comments.” Potential areas of improvement were categorized and frequencies were compiled longitudinally. Differences in participants' ratings of the workshop and demographics between in-person and virtual formats were investigated with t-tests and Chi-square tests, respectively. Results 286 participants attended the workshop over 8 years. Participant ratings of the workshop remained consistently high without substantial variation across all years. Three main themes emerged from the “other comments” item: (1) sense of community; (2) passion and empowerment; and (3) value of protected time. Participants appeared to identify fewer areas for improvement over time. There were no significant differences in participant ratings or demographics between the in-person and virtual formats. Signifinace of results While the workshop has experienced changes over time, participant evaluations varied little. The core content and structure might have the greatest influence on participants’ experiences.
