Paul A. Godley Health Equity Research Week scheduled for March 2024
Save the dates! UNC's Center for Health Equity Research (CHER) is hosting the 2024 Paul A. Godley Health Equity Research Week (HERW) March 18-21, 2024.
CHER is currently accepting abstract submissions. Submit by January 31, 2024.
HERW brings faculty, staff, students and community members together to share health equity research at UNC. HERW is an opportunity to facilitate collaboration, innovation and equity in the UNC School of Medicine, across Carolina’s communities, and beyond. All sessions are open to the entire Carolina community and the general public.
