CHER releases call for abstracts for community-based research projects
The UNC Center for Health Equity Research invites UNC faculty, staff, partners and/or students to submit abstracts reflecting their work to advance health equity in and beyond North Carolina communities.
Proposed abstracts should reflect community-based research projects that are working to eliminate health disparities.

The Paul A. Godley Health Equity Research Week (HERW) brings faculty, staff, students and community members together to highlight and encourage health equity research, promote collaboration and networking, and encourage strategic planning and partnerships in the UNC School of Medicine, across UNC's campus and beyond.
In 2020, the UNC School of Medicine, in collaboration with UNC CHER, held the first Paul A. Godley Health Equity Symposium. In 2023, the symposium is shifting to a research week with expanded opportunities to highlight health equity research from faculty, staff, students. community members and other partners. HERW will include research presentations, panel discussions and a keynote presentation.
