BROWN BAG SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP MEETING X: AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE PREVENTION RESEARCH

This Brown Bag session will provide a forum for discussions of career development strategies for prevention researchers working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Particular discussion topics will include (1) approaches for building relationships with new partner communities and exploring opportunities for collaboration (e.g., when starting a faculty position in a new geographic region); (2) capitalizing on secondary data analysis and other strategies for building expertise and publications during periods of intensive community work or intervention development (i.e., in the germination phases for original data); and (3) balancing the demands of academic positions, including teaching and service, with the intensive demands of community-based research.
