Application Deadline: March 15, 2004

The ICR in Hartford, CT is sponsoring "Crossroads: Critical Issues in Community-Based Research Partnerships", a national conference that will critically explore issues related to community-based research partnerships, methodology, and methods of dissemination. The conference will take place June 10-13, 2004 in Hartford, CT.

ICR is currently accepting applications for workshop and panel discussion proposals that address how class, ethnicity, race, gender, culture and power impact research partnerships; gaps between communities and the institutions that serve them (e.g., cultural institutions, schools, clinics, after-school programs, political representatives); and ways that participatory or collaborative research partnerships can remedy these and other cultural, health, mental health, environmental and economic policy oriented problems.
