The Health Literacy Annual Research Conference will be an interdisciplinary meeting for investigators dedicated to health literacy research. It will be an opportunity to advance the field of health literacy, a method to raise the quality of our research, and a venue for professional development.
Our aim is to attract a full range of investigators engaged in health literacy research including faculty involved in a broad array of public health, health services, epidemiology, translational, and interventional research activities.
This meeting is being coordinated with the assistance of the Institute of Medicine Roundtable on Health Literacy and will be held at the National Academy of Sciences Building.
NOTE:
Investigators who have an abstract selected for oral presentation at the meeting will receive a stipend for meeting attendance. International participation is also welcome. There are a limited number of stipends available to support international investigators whose work is accepted for presentation at the meeting.
Meeting registration details will be coming soon. Please register now with your email address so we can alert you as soon as more information becomes available.
