SUMMARY:AI Workshop Series | AI in Qualitative Research: Opportunities\, Applications\, and Ethical Considerations
DESCRIPTION:This new series from the Indiana CTSI aims to educate attendees on leveraging AI basic principles and tools\, its ethics to improve productivity\, facilitate work processes\, and address ethical considerations. The series is open to anyone interested in the topics\, with each session lasting one hour and presented in a hybrid format – in person at the Regenstrief Social Hub (capped at 90 participants)\, or virtual (no limit). \nEach session will also be recorded and made available after the event. \n____________________________________________________________________________________ \nOctober 29\, 2025 \nPresenters: Rachel Patzer\, PhD\, MPH and Adam Wilk\, PhD \nThis talk will explore the opportunities and challenges of using AI for qualitative data collection\, transcription\, thematic analysis\, and mixed-methods studies. Case studies will compare manual and AI-assisted approaches to transcription and thematic analysis\, highlight ethical considerations\, and offer practical tips for critically evaluating AI outputs. The talk will offer perspective on how AI can accelerate—but not replace—some qualitative research approaches\, the strengths and limitations of AI-assisted transcription and analysis\, ethical and methodological challenges in using AI for qualitative work\, and strategies for integrating AI into mixed-methods research. Whether you’re a qualitative expert\, a quantitative data scientist\, or simply curious about the future of AI in research\, this session will provide actionable insights and spark thoughtful discussion. \nRegistration is now open

SUMMARY:AI Workshop Series | AI in the research workflow: Practical applications of large language models across the stages of research
DESCRIPTION:This new series from the Indiana CTSI aims to educate attendees on leveraging AI basic principles and tools\, its ethics to improve productivity\, facilitate work processes\, and address ethical considerations. The series is open to anyone interested in the topics\, with each session lasting one hour and presented in a hybrid format – in person at the Regenstrief Social Hub (capped at 90 participants)\, or virtual (no limit). \nEach session will also be recorded and made available after the event. \n____________________________________________________________________________________ \nAugust 6\, 2025 \nPresenter: Kosali Simon\, PhD\, MA \nThis session will explore how researchers across disciplines can harness the power of large language models (LLMs)–like ChatGPT and other AI tools–to enhance research productivity and innovation. We’ll walk through practical use cases for AI in literature synthesis\, protocol refinement\, data management\, coding assistance\, and pre- peer review diagnostics. Special attention will be given to how LLMs can support those with minimal research data programming experience\, using small dataset examples and natural language prompts. The talk will also address responsible use\, evolving norms for acknowledgment\, and the emerging “safe harbors” for ethical integration of AI in research. Whether you’re working with complex code or developing clinical protocols\, this presentation will offer accessible tools and guidance for integrating AI into your workflow.

SUMMARY:AI Workshop Series | An Introduction to the New "Generation" of AI
DESCRIPTION:This new series from the Indiana CTSI aims to educate attendees on leveraging AI basic principles and tools\, its ethics to improve productivity\, facilitate work processes\, and address ethical considerations. The series is open to anyone interested in the topics\, with each session lasting one hour and presented in a hybrid format – in person at the Regenstrief Social Hub (capped at 90 participants)\, or virtual (no limit). \nEach session will also be recorded and made available after the event. \n____________________________________________________________________________________ \nJuly 30 2025 \nPresenter: Shaun Grannis\, MD \nThis lecture will introduce participants to the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its transformative potential in health research. The session begins by demystifying key AI concepts\, including machine learning\, deep learning\, large language models (LLMs)\, and generative approaches\, before diving into real-world applications in clinical research. \nAttendees will explore practical use cases such as automated chart summarization\, natural language querying of clinical databases\, and diagnostic image analysis. The lecture also outlines the core infrastructure and deployment strategies—whether in the cloud\, on-premises\, or hybrid environments—needed to support successful AI integration. \nThrough illustrative case studies in COVID-19 and chronic disease management\, the session highlights how AI has already improved clinical workflows\, triage\, and population health analytics. The talk includes a discussion on effective prompting strategies\, fine-tuning for domain specificity\, and the ethical and competency considerations vital for responsible AI use in healthcare research
