Colleagues,
The People’s Scientific Conference to Promote Health and
Eliminate Health Disparities (The People’s Scientific Conference) will occur on
Friday, June 14, 2013 and Saturday, June 15, 2013 at the University of Florida
in Gainesville, FL. The conference is sponsored by the UF Health Disparities
Research and Intervention Program in partnership with the UF Prostate Disease
Center and the NIH National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities
(NIMHD).
This first-of-its-kind conference will launch a Health
Disparities Research Fellow Mentoring Program that aims to inspire and train
the next generation of researchers (e.g., post-docs, assistant professors) and
community health workers to conduct research that has implications for
promoting health and eliminating health disparities in racial/ethnic minority
and underserved communities. All mentees selected to participate in the
Mentoring Program will receive funding for transportation and lodging to attend
the conference, and a registration fee waiver.
For more information about the Mentoring Program and its
application process, please see the attached document or visit http://tinyurl.com/psc-mentoringprogram.
The application deadline is Monday, April 15, 2013.
