NIMHD 10^th Anniversary Scientific Symposium: Innovations to Promote Health Equity

Join us as we celebrate 10 years as an institute of the National Institutes of Health! Recent news coverage on topics such as maternal mortality, medication ineffectiveness, vaping and diet-related cancers reflect both the acknowledgement of disparities in health and health care and the urgent need to ensure that all populations are fully engaged in biomedical research. Leading researchers investigating these, and other salient topics will help crystalize and further explore our current knowledge about the determinants of health and their impact on minority health and health disparities.

Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2020

Time: 9:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET (Registration opens at 8:30 a.m.)

Location: NIH Main Campus, Natcher Conference Center (Building 45), Ruth Kirschstein Auditorium

This symposium will provide an opportunity to discuss research ideas about how innovations in reducing health disparities among racial/ethnic minorities, persons of disadvantaged socioeconomic status, sexual and gender minorities, and underserved rural residents can improve the future of minority health and ensure an equal opportunity to live long, healthy, and productive lives for all populations.

Register to attend the symposium in person here . The symposium will be available on NIH Videocast and archived for those unable to attend in person.
