We're excited to open the Call for Abstracts for the SIREN 2025 National Research Meeting: Advancing the Science of Social Care, which will take place on February 2-4, 2025 in San Diego, California.   We invite you to submit your social care research to the National Research Meeting! Abstracts for posters, podium presentations, and workshops should focus on the implementation or effectiveness of healthcare policies / practices related to collecting data about social conditions and/or interventions informed by data about social conditions. These healthcare policies and practices may be targeted at the patient, system, or community level. We are particularly interested in research that examines equity-related outcomes.

Share your work at the 17th Annual Science of D&I Conference! This year's theme "Moving Fast and Slow: Optimizing the Pace of Implementation" will address the underexplored concept of the pace of D&I. The D&I science community has known for decades that it takes too long for too little of evidence-based care to reach everyone who could benefit. Much energy has been spent on the second part of the equation—can we increase the volume of evidence-based care delivered—with less attention to the optimal pace at which this should happen. In the seventeenth year of the D&I Conference, we will explore methodological advancements, challenges and opportunities to understanding how to investigate and optimize implementation pace across health care, and community and public health systems.

Drs. Barr, Temkin, Ota Wang and I presented a panel on ORWH at the Academy Health’s Annual Research Meeting (#ARM24) in Baltimore. Each did an excellent job reflecting the breadth and depth of ORWH and The National Institutes of Health research and programming on topics including chronic disease, gender as a social and structural variable, and data science. We shared updates on ORWH research programs, strategic planning and policy efforts, and news about a plethora of other new activities including the White House Initiative on Women’s Health Research with a broad multi-disciplinary audience.  Read more here: bit.ly/46hQwqP

If you are interested in health preference research I would highly recommend attending these webinars. They are based on some of the articles in this collection https://lnkd.in/gsdJtr4r.

Greetings Sorors and Fraters, Since 2017, the NPHC’s Black Greek Letter Consortium (BGLC) has been a community partner of the National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Research Program. In addition to educating our communities about the importance of minority participation in research. We have also developed the NPHC’s Divine Nine (D9) Researchers Pipeline. This initiative provides experienced D9 Researchers with the opportunity to work collaboratively to gain access to and study extensive health data from diverse populations, especially those in underrepresented biomedical research. This esteemed group of individuals will be a voice and join the conversation to discuss topics such as the benefits, challenges, and relevancy of minority research and researchers. There is an upcoming opportunity for everyone to learn more about the cloud-based platform where registered researchers can access Registered and Controlled Tier data to support data analysis and collaboration. We welcome all members of our organizations to register and attend the virtual All of Us Researchers Convention on April 3 and 4, 2024! This free, virtual event will showcase research using the All of Us dataset. This research would not be possible without the generous contributions of All of Us participants and our community partners who are helping raise awareness about the program. We hope you’ll join the convention to see how researchers are using All of Us data to advance health research. The National Institutes of Health's All of Us Research Program is a historic effort to collect and study data from at least one million people living in the United States. The goal of All of Us is to speed up health research discoveries, enabling new kinds of individualized health care. To make this possible, the program is building one of the world’s largest and most diverse databases for health research. More than 8,150 researchers are already using the program’s dataset to conduct health research. Learn more and register at bit.ly/3Sh6gDK Yours in Greekdom, Black Greek Letter Consortium
