The Office of the Vice President for Research is excited to announce the upcoming Lightning Talk event “Individual Reproductive Health and Beyond: Innovations in Community, Family, and Maternal-Child Dyads”.

We invite all interested individuals to submit lightning talks on new research and burgeoning ideas that would benefit from collaborative, cross-campus research. This event will follow up on the Reproductive Health Working Group Kickoff and is particularly interested in research that explores issues beyond the individual. This may be an exploration of community—or family-level interventions and outcomes or maternal-child dyads.

Researchers with established work in Reproductive Health are also invited to submit “research in progress” to provide updates on their work or share any issues that would benefit from collaboration or brainstorming. If you have previously presented a reproductive health lightning talk, we encourage you to attend and present with updates.

Guidance on Lightning Talk Presentations:

• Lightning talks will be limited to a maximum of 5-slides and 3-5 minutes per person.
• Space for lightning talks is limited. Please indicate on your registration form whether you are interested in submitting a lightning talk.
• You may also upload your slides as part of the registration or submit them to Natalie McElroy.
