Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) will host a national conversation on “Connecting Research to Health Justice in Local Contexts” and “Community-Driven Research Priorities and Opportunities for Scalable and Sustainable Impact” on Wednesday, June 18 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., focusing on how local research efforts can impact health justice through community-driven initiatives.
For individuals who work in clinical care, education, research or are active in the community, this symposium will provide an opportunity to engage with various disciplines and perspectives at the forefront of health innovation. Sessions will explore critical topics including AI/ML in clinical care, community-driven research and cross-sector partnerships.
The symposium is free and will take place on the MSM campus. The MSM event is one of 18 symposiums taking place at institutions across the country that aim to identify opportunities to better translate innovations from prevention and care research to maximize societal benefits.
Supported by a collective of leading funders of health research in the U.S. known as the Collective to Strengthen Pathways for Health Research these symposia will illuminate strategies to connect societal health priorities with research ideas, funding models, policies and commercial incentives to improve health outcomes. The aim is to create a blueprint for action that can shape new funding models, policy changes and industry investments to promote health innovations that prevent disease and improve outcomes of clinical care.
This collective is spearheaded by the Doris Duke Foundation, together with American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, Burroughs Wellcome Fund, Dana Foundation, The Donaghue Foundation, Prebys Foundation, Robertson Foundation and Susan G. Komen, among others.
