Works in Progress
Works in Progress is a monthly seminar series devoted to discussing minority health and health disparities research topics. The purpose of these seminars is to give researchers a forum to freely discuss their research while still in the developing or formative phases in order to exchange ideas, obtain constructive feedback, and discuss issues that may be common to various projects (e.g., study design issues, recruitment strategies). The goal is to provide an opportunity for researchers with differing backgrounds and expertise but a shared passion for reducing health disparities to sit together and discuss their work. Works in Progress is sponsored by the University of Minnesota Center for Health Equity (CHE) and hosted by the CHE Research Core. To present your research project or idea at a future seminar, please contact Amy Parker at 612-626-6796 or park0607@umn.edu Upcoming WIP Seminar
