HHS OASH Harm Reduction in Rural Communities Project seeks focus group participants. Compensation may be available for participation. Deadline to apply is Friday, May 10. The study seeks individuals 18 and older in rural communities who have a history of SUD, people who inject drugs, people living with HIV or a sexually transmitted infection (STI) due to injection drug use. In addition, we are also interested in hearing from providers (such as peer support specialists, case workers, physicians, or allied professionals) who have worked directly with individuals with these lived experiences.

Calling all peers and recovery staff who manage their organization’s evaluation programming—we want to hear from you! The PR CoE has been hosting monthly Program Evaluation & Research Learning Exchanges this year for staff from recovery organizations and peers who are interested in learning more about evaluation planning and implementation, assessment, and research engagement. The goal of these sessions is to create space for shared learning, networking, and growth. For our session on June 25th, we will be hosting space for folks to share and present on their own program evaluation processes. It will be an opportunity to discuss successes, challenges, and network with other participants. We have space for 4 – 5 presenters and will compensate you for your time. If you’re interested in presenting, please reach out to Shannon Roberts at slroberts@umkc.edu. And don’t worry! If spots fill up too quickly, we’ll schedule an additional session to make sure everyone can be included. Learn more and register here: https://ow.ly/YtRU50RxKwV
