Events

Research and Innovation Day, held annually, provides an opportunity to celebrate the scholarly and innovation efforts of College of Health and Human Services faculty, staff and students. Typical programming includes a keynote speaker; distinguished CHHS researcher presentation; scientific poster showcase and a three-minute thesis challenge.

Coffee Hour events facilitate development of interprofessional teams. Faculty from across campus and community partners come together informally to discuss a common research interest (e.g., diabetes prevention; global health; sexual health; domestic violence).

At coffee hours, attendees have an opportunity to share current projects and needs related to collaborators. Relevant RFPs are shared to guide possibilities for future funding. To follow-up from these events, an email distribution list is created so participants can continue to communicate about collaboration opportunities, share resources, and work together.

To request a topic for a future Coffee Hour event, please contact us at chhsrandi@uncw.edu.

Faculty writing circles provide support in the form of a designated space and time for writing. Writing circles are offered throughout the year, including the summer months. The associate dean for research and innovation participates in every session and facilitates a goal check-in with each faculty member - and is available for mentoring and assistance during each writing circle. Faculty participants serve as peer mentors to one another.

Faculty from across disciplines participate and deliverables include conference abstracts, manuscripts, dissertations, book chapters, and grant proposals. 

Interested faculty members should contact us at chhsrandi@uncw.edu.

Events are routinely sponsored by CHHS Research and Innovation to cultivate interprofessional collaboration opportunities, celebrate scholarly research and innovation efforts and to learn more about our services. 

In addition, trainings and workshops are offered regularly to CHHS faculty and staff on a variety of research-related topics. Examples of trainings have included grant writing, budget development, and how to write successful publications.
