Themes

Guiding Principles

The following principles guide our planning process:

Presentation Formats: They welcome proposals for both full 50-minute sessions and individual 12-minute research presentations (that we will then assign to a multi-presentation session). Full sessions can be proposed in any format that will best achieve the goals of the session, such as panel presentations, roundtables, moderated discussions, interactive workshops, etc. Full session proposals should incorporate at least 20 minutes of audience engagement activities. They encourage you to think creatively about how to engage participants and combat “Zoom fatigue.” The meeting will be conducted using the Zoom Events platform and will include the following features for audience participation: Q&A, chat, polls, and/or breakout rooms. Sessions are limited to a maximum of 3 speakers and 1 moderator. For full sessions that propose several individual presentations, the submission process will provide the opportunity to indicate whether each presenter would like to be considered for an individual presentation should the full panel not be accepted.

Meeting Audience: The immediate goals of the meeting focus on improving social care research. Therefore, the primary audience for the meeting is researchers, including from both health care and social/human services research fields. However, since research should be guided and shaped by those who are the intended beneficiaries of the strategies being studied, they encourage submissions (and participation) from people with lived experience of racism and economic challenges and/or that shed light on the experiences and perspectives of people with these lived experiences. Submitters who do not have this experience are strongly encouraged to include people with lived experience of racism and economic challenges in their proposed sessions. Likewise, they welcome submissions as well as participation from social care practitioners, payers, policymakers, funders, and advocates, both in medical and human/social services sectors, as their perspectives are also key to ensuring research is addressing relevant questions.

Selection Criteria

Submissions will be reviewed by SIREN staff and the National Research Meeting Advisors based on the following criteria:
