“Role reflections: Hearing from health equity research staff” is part of the 2023 Paul A. Godley Health Equity Research Week (HERW) hosted by the UNC Center for Health Equity Research.
This panel will bring together staff from across UNC to discuss their perspectives on health equity and community-engaged research given their specific role in it. Panelists will reflect on what challenges and sustains them in this work, as well as the future of health equity as a field. Registration for this virtual panel is coming soon.

The Paul A. Godley Health Equity Research Week (HERW) brings faculty, staff, students and community members together to highlight and encourage health equity research, promote collaboration and networking, and encourage strategic planning and partnerships in the UNC School of Medicine, across UNC’s campus and beyond.
In 2020, the UNC School of Medicine, in collaboration with UNC CHER, held the first Paul A. Godley Health Equity Symposium. In 2023, the symposium is shifting to a research week with expanded opportunities to highlight health equity research from faculty, staff, students. community members and other partners. HERW will include research presentations, panel discussions and a keynote presentation.
HERW is co-sponsored by the UNC School of Medicine Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
