2001 Migrant Stream Forums

[Guest guest]

Believe it or not, the deadlines for submitting abstracts for

presentations at the 2001-02 migrant stream forums are rapidly

approaching. Below is the relevant contact information for each

stream. This same information and an abstract submission form can also

be found at http://www.ncfh.org/abstract.htm.

Each of the streams is actively soliciting presentations from the

research community (both research findings and methodology), so I

encourage you to submit and take advantage of this terrific opportunity

to present your work among others committed to improving the status of

farmworker health. Over the past few years, the research offering at

these forums have expanded dramatically and now serve as the ideal venue

for linking clinicians, administrators, funders and researchers. As in

the past, presenters will have the opportunity to apply for travel

funding to attend the forums.

Please contact me or any of the individuals noted as contacts below if

you have any general questions about the stream forums or appropriate

topics for presentations.
