This workshop is part of the Health Equity Research Collaborative (HERC), a WSU Grand Challenge funded initiative. The initiative involves faculty from multiple colleges who have an interest in understanding the factors that promote health resilience and decrease health risks associated with poverty, discrimination, and poor access to healthcare.

The workshop is free and open to all WSU faculty and graduate students, and aims to facilitate partnership-building between the university and community-based organizations. Space is limited so please register by April 3rd.
