2024 Health Disparities and Social Justice Poster Competition

Sponsored by the Office of Health Sciences Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, this event gives early researchers an opportunity to present their work and expand their scientific professional skill set. The term “disparities” applies to differences in health status in any referenced population compared to the comparable majority referenced population.

We expect to see work in disparities based upon race or ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, age, and other parameters. Posters will also be accepted for community-oriented initiatives designed to address health disparities.
