Submitting Abstracts

Rather than asking for abstracts about particular topics or themes, the organizers are inviting all contributors to use the broad framework of respectful health research with Native people as a basis for developing their 250 word (maximum) conference abstracts for sharing circles. The abstracts will form the basis for a more detailed program, which will be designed to generate discussions in sharing circles. Ideas for presentations include research studies conducted, pointers for conducting research with Native people, health and health care needs of Native people in the Northeast, helpful hints for funding requests, cultural information, storytelling, etc.
Sharing Circles

Abstracts will be considered by the organizers, who will allocate them to sharing circles based on similarities. Each sharing circle will be facilitated. Sharing circle facilitators will draw up plans to facilitate the circles, aiming for a variety of formats, including (but not limited to) fifteen-minute presentations.
