The Minority Student Caucus at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health invites you to share your work at the 43rd Annual Minority Health Conference. This year’s conference is a hybrid conference, to be held virtually on Thursday, February 24, 2022 and in-person on Friday February 25, 2022. More information can be found at https://minorityhealth.web.unc.edu/.

THE PROPOSALS: We are looking for presenters who center the experiences of people of color and intersecting marginalized identities to demonstrate a clear commitment to equity, advocacy, and community engagement. Proposals to share research, practice, programs, processes, and stories are encouraged. Submissions are welcome from researchers, practitioners, community members, community organizations, and students from a variety of fields (including behavioral science, basic and clinical sciences, public health, biostatistics, policy/government, social work, history, journalism, and others).

THE FORMAT: Because of the hybrid nature of the conference, we will be using a virtual poster presentation platform called iPosterSessions. Presenters will be able to create a virtual poster using iPosterSessions and the public will be able to view virtual posters for up to one month after the conference. The virtual poster session will be held on Thursday, February 24 on Zoom and the in-person poster session will be held on Friday, February 25. In-person poster presenters will be asked to print and bring a physical poster depicting their work that will be displayed during the conference. Both virtual and in-person presenters will have the opportunity to engage with attendees during a dedicated poster session to share their work and field questions. If selected to present a poster, the MHC Posters Committee will provide guidance on how to create a poster using iPosterSessions and how to print a physical poster.

Submissions will be due by January 21, 2022. Email mhc.abstracts@gmail.com with any questions. Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by January 22, 2022 via email.
