Community-Academic Partnerships Aimed at Cancer Health Equity

Pitch Partners: Community-Academic Partnerships Aimed at Cancer Health Equity

Date: November 7th, 2019

Time: 4:30PM to 6:30PM

Location: 600 S. Taylor Avenue

TO SUBMIT A PROJECT IDEA:
Please email a one-page abstract with specific aims to Poli Rijos by October 16, 2019. Five project ideas will be selected by October 21, 2019. Selected participants will be invited to apply for a rapid seed funding opportunity in December. Participation does not guarantee a partnership or funding.

Join us for our bi-annual Pitch Partners. At Pitch Partners, community members, organizations and faculty have the opportunity to pitch health-related project ideas in order to identify potential partners and receive critical feedback.

This fall’s event will focus on community-academic partnerships aimed at addressing cancer prevention and cancer disparities. Providing our region with the best health care calls for innovative approaches in which citizens, community organizations, health care organizations, and universities work together to assure successful provision of services and treatment.

Pitches might address:

• Community-academic partnerships for cancer-relevant health research or practice
• Research partnerships that address regional cancer health disparities
• Plans that support clinical and community-based cancer research and outreach
• Development/planning new partnerships that provide direct service to cancer patients

This is a free event. Dinner will be provided. Due to limited space and resources, registration is required.
