Join Our Virtual NARCH Program Meeting

UPDATE: The video from this webinar is now available.

We were unable to get together in person for this year’s Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) program meeting. Instead, we’re hosting a virtual meeting for NARCH investigators, project directors, and community leaders:

Friday, December 11, 1:30-5:45 p.m. ET

The objectives of the meeting are to:

  • Introduce strategies and initiatives from NIH and NIGMS leaders in response to COVID-19
  • Highlight scientific progress by NARCH investigators and trainees
  • Discuss questions raised by NARCH grantees

During the meeting, Cheryl Wilman, University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Jeff Trent, Translational Genomics Research Institute, will present their work with tribal nations and the Cancer Moonshot project. In addition, selected NARCH principal investigators and project leaders will share short presentations of their program accomplishments, and there will be a panel discussion on engaging students in biomedical research.

To view the full meeting agenda or to register to attend, visit the NARCH meeting website. A recording will be available on the NARCH webpage following the event.
