Community-Driven Research Day provides an opportunity for community-based organizations and city agencies to have a greater role in the research process, by elevating their needs and identifying activities that would benefit from the support of researchers. This event helps match the skills of the local research community with community-defined research needs.
This year, Community-Driven Research Day will focus on five areas related to public health:
• Addiction and Overdose
• Environmental Challenges
• Obesity and the Food System
• Risks to Adolescent Health
• Violence
How does Community-Driven Research Day work?
Community projects selected to participate will each have a table to display information about their organization, projects, and research priorities. In “speed dating”-style, interested researchers will rotate throughout the room at prescribed times to learn more about organizations in their interest area and see if there are mutually beneficial opportunities for collaborating. Attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss collaborations during the networking session. Light refreshments will be served.
Funding Opportunity
The UHI will provide funds to community-university collaborations that result from participating in Community-Driven Research Day.
This is a great opportunity for students, faculty, community-based organizations, and city agencies, who would like to network and share their research with the community. If you have a research project that's related to one of the five categories or you have another great project, please apply to present.

Great opportunity to participate in a timely research study!
-----------------------------------------------------
My name is Lindsay Emery and I am a doctoral student in psychology here at UMBC.
I am currently recruiting interracial Black/White family members for my dissertation and I was wondering if I could perhaps ask for help to spread the word to students, staff and faculty at UMBC, particularly who are part of an interracial Black/White family in the area.
My dissertation is looking at how Black/White interracial families communicate together (parents and their biological children) on topics of race and identity. This project will involve me interviewing parents and their children (child has to be between the ages 13-17) who are part of a Black/White interracial family and live in the Baltimore area, to discuss the topic of race and identity. Families will participate in a total of 3 interviews (1-2 hours each) with me (1 parent interview, 1 child interview, and 1 family group interview) and will receive $60 cash compensation in total for their time and participation.
Interested families should email me or call me if interested. All contact information for this project is included on the following two attached fliers (parent and child versions).
Again, to participate, participants must: 1.) be a parent in a Black/White interracial relationship and have a biological child (between the ages of 13-17) that can participate as well, who all live together, and 2.) live in the Baltimore area.
Thank you and please let me know if you have any questions.
