COMMUNITY-DRIVEN RESEARCH DAY encourages collaborations between researchers and community-based organizations who have research questions that address social determinants of health. We invite Philadelphia-area community-based organizations and groups to submit proposals to present posters with research questions that address the social determinants of health. Submissions are due January 19, 2026.
During the poster presentation session, community-based presenters will have the chance to connect with academic, public-sector, and non-profit researchers, leaders, and staff on their work and research questions. Community-based organizations and groups who attend and/or present a poster at CDRD and then attend the virtual Research Readiness Day after CDRD will be eligible to apply for small grants to work with an academic researcher on their research questions.
Please note that you cannot save progress on your responses. We suggest you review the questions, prepare your responses, and then submit them in one setting. We will only review complete submissions.
Please note that your poster is approved only once the selection committee reaches out to you. The confirmation emails you will receive after submitting your proposal are only to confirm that we received your proposal.
