Greetings! I would like to put this upcoming event on your radars – Research Days, Nov 1 & 2, Prince George, BC. This year's theme is "Partnerships". As you know the majority, if not all, of our public health, health promotion, social marketing and research endeavors are based on effective partnerships and collaboration. Please join us to share insights and Lessons Learned on partnership collaborations. Registration is FREE! Participation is possible in-person or on-line! ** ** Also, consider submitting an abstract or poster for presentation! As you will see on the call below – the deadline for abstract submission has been extended. An added bonus is that an accepted abstract counts as a peer reviewed abstract in conference proceedings (very useful to add to an academic CV)! Let me know if you have any questions. ** ** Best, **** Denise**** ** ** ** ** *Denise Canso *MSc PMP** Health Project Officer, UNBC**** [log in to unmask] ● 250.960.5815 ● www.unbc.ca/research**** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **[image: Description: IDC_clr300p.tif]***Research Days 2011 **Showcasing Healthcare & Research Partnerships **November 1 & 2, 2011 Prince George, BC - Civic Centre*** * * *Call for Abstracts Extension* *Do you have a health research, evaluation or quality improvement project to share?
