What is Community Driven Research Day?
Community Driven Research Day (CDRD) encourages collaboration between researchers and community-based organizations (CBOs)/ community groups who have research questions that they are interested in answering. Through an interactive poster session, CBOs and community groups highlighted their research questions to program participants, including area nonprofits, community groups, public sector partners, and researchers from academic institutions across Philadelphia. This year’s theme was Local Solutions to Health Challenges.
