13th Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) International Symposium on Health Disparities

On behalf of the Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) Program at Morehouse School of Medicine and the Division of Research Infrastructure of the National Center for Research Resources, we are pleased to invite you to attend and participate in the 13th RCMI International Symposium on Health Disparities to convene December 10-13, 2012 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Pre-Symposium Training workshops will take place December 8-9.

This four-day symposium has been designed to offer opportunities for sharing research information in areas related to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity, cancer, women’s health, mental health, infectious disease, stroke, and behavioral and community health. The program will highlight RCMI program institutions, partners, and collaborators. We invite others who are engaged in clinical, basic science, education and policy research in health disparities to join us. This collaborative effort, expected to draw 550-600 participants, is sponsored by the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) Division of Research Infrastructure, managed by Morehouse School of Medicine, and hosted by the RCMI Programs at the Ponce School of Medicine, Universidad Central Del Caribe, and University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences Campus.

8th World Stroke Congress

October 10-13, 2012 Brasilia, Brazil

The 8th World Stroke Congress will be held in Brasilia October 10 to 13, 2012. This is the first time that the World Stroke Congress is held in Latin America.

The scope of the World Stroke Congress is broader than other international stroke conferences: besides first class presentations on research findings, overviews of current state of the art, lectures of excellence, and teaching courses there will also be a strong focus on parts of the chain of care like primary prevention, organization of services and rehabilitation. Global issues will be much addressed including global burden of stroke, specific features of stroke in low to middle income countries and priority settings when resources are low. A substantial part of the programme will focus on nursing and multidisciplinary networking. Another substantial part is directed to stroke support organizations.
