Dear Professors/Colleagues/and Friends:
I am pleased to announce a call for papers for the 8th Annual Regional
National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Young/New Investigators
Symposium scheduled for April 15-16, 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The first
seven symposiums, held in 2003-2009 were great successes. The symposiums have
averaged over 45 attendees with 20 presenters representing 8 universities in
6 states, as well as Alberta, Canada. Senior faculty reviewed the conference
research papers and peer-reviewed proceedings will be published on the web.
Would you please forward this information to any students and faculty who would be interested in attending and/or presenting? This is a great opportunity for young/new investigators and students to meet and exchange ideas. Please note that students and presenters are eligible for reimbursement for expenses associated with symposium attendance (up to $600).
