Dear colleagues,
As a follow-up to the January 2023 Reproductive Health Working Group Town Hall and kickoff event, the Reproductive Health Working Group is hosting an in-person strategy-planning retreat. The primary goal of this retreat is to identify funding opportunities and set strategic goals for the working group. We will produce deliverable research pursuits and plans for the next steps of working group action.
The Reproductive Health Working Group brings together researchers, clinicians, educators, and administrators dedicated to advancing the sexual and reproductive health and well-being of our community. Reproductive Health is a holistic concept that encompasses physical, emotional, and social well-being in all aspects of our reproductive lives. The Reproductive Health Working Group aims to support high-quality, interdisciplinary research on a broad range of sexual and reproductive health issues. This working group offers a supportive environment that encourages innovative collaborations across social and medical sciences to broaden capacity, reach, and impact.
The retreat will take place from 10:00am – 2:00pm (MST) on Thursday, May 23, 2024. The location will be provided to those who register. This event is open to all research faculty, staff, post-docs, and students interested in growing the Reproductive Health research portfolio from any discipline, subject area, department, or college. Researchers currently operating in this research space, looking for collaborators, and/or planning a response to upcoming, high-impact research opportunities related to Reproductive Health research are strongly encouraged to attend. New researchers who have yet to participate in the Reproductive Health Working Group are also welcome. While engaged individuals may have other events or commitments during this timeframe, we welcome your attendance for any portion of this meeting that you can make.
Please RSVP for this in-person retreat by Friday, May 3, 2024. RSVPs are accepted HERE.
Questions can be directed to the AVPR Office. Thank you!
