COMMUNITY-DRIVEN RESEARCH DAY encourages collaborations between researchers and community-based organizations (CBOs) and community groups who have research questions that they are interested in answering, specifically in ways that address social determinants of health. Through an interactive poster session, CBOs and community groups highlight their questions to CDRD participants, who include area non-profits, community groups, public sector partners, and researchers from the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Drexel University, Thomas Jefferson University, and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. CBOs, community groups, academic researchers, and students will have ample opportunity to discuss potential mutually-beneficial collaborations.

2023 Keynote Panel: An esteemed panel of past CDRD awardees and community-driven research experts will present on effective community-academic collaborations.
