The Research Program on Children and Adversity (RPCA) focuses on understanding trajectories of risk and resilience in children facing multiple forms of adversity, including poverty, conflict, and infectious disease.
This monthly research group/webinar is designed to provide a space for investigators to receive constructive feedback from peers on grant proposals while learning about grant writing, research methods, and implementation science from experienced senior investigators. The initiative provides a forum for low- and middle-income country partner sites linked to National Institute of Mental Health-funded Collaborative Hubs for International Research on Mental Health to participate in webinars, while also offering opportunities for BCSSW faculty to participate.
