The webinar will focus on social media and online outreach strategies to recruit & engage high risk
populations in health disparities research.

Learning Objectives: Upon completion of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Describe several different recruitment strategies that utilize social media and online engagement
• Identify appropriate social media/online strategies based on level of staffing, time, skill, and funds
• Identify various social media/online platforms to consider for targeted recruitment efforts

Join us for our latest live online interactive research career-development webinar! The webinar presenter will be Dr. Ronald L. Braithwaite
Professor, Community Health and Preventive Medicine, Family Medicine and Psychiatry, Morehouse School of Medicine. Participants in this webinar will learn

Who should register: College or University faculty, particularly new researchers and those at minority-serving institutions, seeking to further their research aims with the guidance of successful NIH funded investigators.

Join us for our latest live online interactive research career-development webinar! The webinar presenter will be Dr. Naomi Hall-Byers
Professor, Psychological Sciences at Winston-Salem State University. Participants in this webinar will

• Understand the purpose of the SC mechanisms (i.e. SC1, SC2, SC3) “Individual investigator-initiated research projects aimed at developing researchers at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) to a stage where they can transition successfully to other extramural support ([R01 or equivalent], NIH 2018).”
• Understand the process for applying for SC mechanisms
• Understand the expectations and benefits of the SC mechanisms

Who should register: College or University faculty, particularly new researchers and those at minority-serving institutions, interested in conducting NIH funded investigator-initiated research.

Join us for our latest live online interactive research career-development webinar! The webinar presenter will be Bradley Conner, PhD, Associate Professor of Psychology and Director of Addiction Counseling at Colorado State University. Topics for discussion will include 

·       What is the purpose of the R03 Mechanism

·       What to consider when thinking about applying for an R03

·       How might the R03 be beneficial for moving my research forward

Dr. Conner has written many successful R03 grant proposals; hence his expertise will be valuable for individuals who are thinking about seeking funding from NIH.  Many new scholars are unfamiliar with the R03, and others still wonder should they apply for the R03 verses the R21.  Dr. Conner will share his experience (e.g., why he chose the R03, what type of projects he had funded through the R03 mechanism, the stage of his work when he selected the R03, how was the R03 beneficial for moving his research forward).
