Call for Presentations

The Institute of Rural Health Research is proud to host our 23rd Annual Rural Health Conference Turning the Tide… On Individual, Domestic, and Community Violence, at the Bryant Conference Center located at 240 Paul Bryant Dr., Tuscaloosa, AL. The Institute for Rural Health Research welcomes presentation proposals from University of Alabama faculty and staff, researchers from other institutions, health care professionals, community leaders, and other interested participants.

The presentation committee will score the submissions, including how they fit with the conference tracks of preventing, treating, and investigating the opioid crisis. The top submissions will be invited to present at the Rural Health Conference.

Transform your research, ideas, and best practices into a Rural Health Conference meeting presentation. Presentations are meant to inform, encourage dialogue, and drive new solutions to our most significant challenges.
