6th Annual Appalachian Research Day: Come Sit on the Porch

Community-based research begins at the local level, built upon the foundation of relationships with individuals, neighborhoods, and groups who have common questions and concerns. The UK Center of Excellence in Rural Health hosts Appalachian Research Day each year in Hazard to provide an opportunity to join in the discussion and learn about findings from research studies that have occurred in local communities.

The 6th Annual Appalachian Research Day: Come Sit on the Porch will be held as a virtual seminar series, beginning September 16, 2020.
