We Invite You to Join Us for Our Community Based Participatory Research Seminar Series

This Fall, learn how to develop meaningful relationships with community members - a vital component to conducting community-driven research. Forming these relationships can be difficult and researchers often don't know where to start. Learn how to create bidirectional relationships to ensure community priorities are centered in research. Find out how UofL supports CBPR and learn how you can get involved as a community partner or citizen scientist. This seminar series is open to the public.
