In an effort to connect the diverse needs of city agencies and community-based organizations with the valuable research conducted at universities in Baltimore, the Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute will host Reverse Research Day on Friday, March 13. Bernard Guyer, the Zanvyl Krieger Professor of Child Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and Joshua Sharfstein, Baltimore City health commissioner, will co-chair the event.

Reverse Research Day is a new approach to shaping research. Through an interactive poster session, city agencies and community organizations will lead the initiative by raising questions based on their specific research needs, with the goal of connecting with scientists from Johns Hopkins and other universities who can assist them. In addition to linking research to city/community programs, this event will provide opportunities for collaboration and student research projects.

Reverse Research Day will be from 1:30 to 4 p.m. in Feinstone Hall at the School of Public Health. For more information, contact Ebony Pittman of the Urban Health Institute at 410-502-6155 or epittman@jhsph.edu.
