On January 20th, 2021, The O’Brien Institute for Public Health launched the Social and Structural Vulnerabilities (SSV) Program and the Research2SocialAction HUB with a two-part, virtual event. Read the report from the launch. The morning session included presentations from the HUB’s co-leads, Cornell University’s Project2Gen’s Assistant Director for Policy Engagement, and students involved in HUB research. The afternoon consisted of a community engagement session focused on co-developing a research and social action agenda for the HUB. Participants rated research and action ideas related to ‘Funding Upstream Strategies’, ‘Data Sharing’, and ‘Translating Evidence into Policy’ as their highest priority issues. The event was recorded and can be viewed here.
