Celebrating 16 years of Building Partnerships

Nov 24, 2025 | ANNOUNCEMENT

Join Us for Community-Driven Research Day 2026

For 16 years, Community-Driven Research Day (CDRD) has been a catalyst for partnerships that advance health through community-based research. This annual event brings together researchers, community-based organizations (CBOs), and community groups to collaborate on questions that matter most—especially those addressing conditions that impact everyday health.

What to Expect

Interactive Poster Session: Community groups and CBOs will showcase their research questions and goals, sparking connections with academic and public sector partners.

Keynote Panel: Hear from past CDRD awardees and experts on building effective community-academic collaborations.
