The event is an opportunity to learn more about the research and service activities of the HSPH community. The Intersection of Race, Ethnicity, Gender, Community, and Academia. Because minority women's participation in clinical research has been minimal, the conference will address minority women's concerns, barriers to participation, models for recruitment and community involvement, institutional strategies for improving recruitment, and benchmarks to track HMS's success at increasing minority representation in research. Speakers include keynoter Shiriki Kumanyika from the University of Pennsylvania, Roberta Rosenberg from the Multicultural Center on Aging, Bettina Beech from the University of Memphis Prevention Center, Ming Hui Chen from Brigham and Women's Hospital, and James Breitmeyer from the Harvard Clinical Research Institute.
