This is a hybrid event. There are separate registration buttons for in-person and Zoom attendance.

Hosted by the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, this workshop is an opportunity for community members and partners to share their experiences and insights on participating in research at UNC-CH. During this discussion, our community partners’ voices are central, focusing on their experiences with research and offering recommendations for improvement. The goal is to foster a better understanding of how research can be more inclusive, collaborative, and beneficial for all involved. Participants will have the chance to contribute to the conversation, helping shape future community-research engagement efforts.
