Third Annual Appalachian Research Day

UK Center of Excellence in Rural Health is pleased to announce the third-annual Appalachian Research Day, Come Sit on the Porch.

Community-based research begins at the local level, built upon the foundation of relationships with individuals, neighborhoods, and groups who have common questions and concerns. Appalachian Research Day is an opportunity to join in the discussion and learn about findings from research studies that have occurred in local communities.

Come learn about research projects in our community and how you can get involved.
