Community Driven Research Day and Call for Proposals
Posted by on February 08, 2010
Community-driven research encouraged by CHOP, Penn event
The Philadelphia Collaborative Violence Prevention Center, a project of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, is sponsoring a Community Driven Research Day to encourage collaboration between university-based research partners and community based organizations who have research questions that they are interested in answering about violence prevention and/or the built environment.
This event is co-hosted by the Center for Public Health Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania.
Through an interactive poster session, community organizations will highlight their research questions to researchers from CHOP, the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University and Drexel University. Agencies and academic researchers will be able to meet and discuss potential collaborations.
A Research Readiness Day for members and representatives of community-based organizations interested in submitting a proposal for Community-Driven Research Day will be held on February 19th. Interested Philadelphia-based, non-profit organizations which offer services in community settings and provide educational, basic human, or other related social services related to violence prevention and/or the built environment are invited to present posters about their work and specific research question(s).
Submission forms are due by March 5th by 5pm. Community Driven Research Day will be held on Tuesday, April 6th from 10am to 1pm.
