A Research Barnraising Event
Join us on March 27 - 28 on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus.
Co-hosted by the Minnesota Population Center (MPC) and Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity (CARHE)
This 1.5 day workshop will bring together reproductive health, rights, and justice-informed researchers, practitioners, and data users from across the country to foster dynamic conversations on how to conduct timely, equity-focused abortion policy research in the post-Dobbs era. Working groups and the full workshop are in-person only. In-person attendance is limited to 60. The panel discussion will be available virtually. It is free to attend but registration is required for both in-person and virtual participation.
Travel Funding and Support
We have limited funding available to people interested in attending to pay for travel costs. To be eligible, you must meet NIH's requirements for an early-stage investigator and be from an under-resourced institution or organization. Preference will also be given to individuals from underrepresented populations in the U.S. biomedical, clinical, behavioral and social sciences research enterprise.
Unfortunately, we are unable to fund students or postdoctoral researchers at this time.
