Design Studio Process

The entire process from intake to Design Studio to final report is expected to take 6-8 weeks.

Request

To request a Design Studio, you will complete our intake form providing contact information and a brief description on how you envision a Design Studio could help with your project.

Intake Call

Our team will schedule a 30-minute consultation with you to better understand your needs, ensure the Design Studio process is the best fit for you and your project, and identify goals for the studio.  

Preparation

After the initial consultation, the assigned Studio Manager will work with you to prepare for the studio by identifying experts that would be most valuable, preparing pre-read documents, and scheduling. Information you will be responsible to provide includes:

  • Specific questions to address in the Design Studio
  • Type of expertise you need and/or names of those experts you have already identified
  • Hypothesis or research question
  • Scientific summary of the problem
  • Description of how the project will be translated to humans, communities, or health services
  • Development of pre-read material and presentation using the above information

Design Studio

The studio will last approximately 90 minutes. You will give a brief (approximately 10 min) presentation to studio experts covering background, significance/innovation, proposed approach (including preliminary data) and the 3 most important questions you would like the studio to address. This is purposefully brief to allow for the most time for a structured two-way Question & Answer session immediately following. The studio facilitator will end the meeting with a summary of comments and identification of next steps.

Summary Report

You will receive a summary report of the Design Studio, with input from the experts in attendance and recommendations for next steps working with cores and services, if applicable. The goal is to deliver this summary report within 10 business days of your studio.
