SIREN 2022 National Research Meeting and Call for Proposals
We are excited to announce that SIREN will hold a free, virtual National Research Meeting in September and October 2022 applying a racial equity lens to social care research. The objectives of this meeting are to:
- Critically examine how racism in all forms (e.g. interpersonal, institutional, systemic) impacts social care programs and social care research; and
- Identify how social care research can become a stronger tool for advancing racial health equity.
The multi-part, virtual meeting, made possible with funding from AHRQ and RWJF, will take place on Thurs Sept 15, Tues Sept 27, and Weds Oct 12, 2022, from 9am-12pm PT / 12-3pm ET. (Click on the dates to add them to your calendar.)
With the intention of featuring diverse perspectives and content, we are issuing a Call for Proposals for 50 min meeting sessions and 12 min research presentations. We welcome submissions not only from SIREN’s network of health and social services researchers but also from social care practitioners (across sectors and roles), payers, policymakers, funders, advocates. We particularly encourage submissions that feature and/or shed light on the experiences and perspectives of people with lived experience of racism and economic challenges. Proposals are due April 22, 2022 at 11:59pm PT.
