Keynote Speaker:  Dr. Bryan Semaan, Institute for Veterans and Military Families, Syracuse University.

 

SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENDED:  August 31, 2017

 

The Dryhootch Partnership for Veteran Health, a community/academic partnership, is seeking abstract submissions for posters and oral breakout session presentations that describe scholarly projects, research and/or lesson learned from projects working with veterans, active duty, and military families as part of the Wisconsin Warrior Summit.  Submissions will undergo peer review and will be published as a local conference proceedings document.  Accepted teams will also be encouraged to join a special issue effort on veteran community engaged research.

 

Conference Theme:    Veteran Collaborative Research & Clinical Innovation:

A Joint Mission for Community, Clinicians and Scholars
SUGGESTED THEMES FOR SUBMISSIONS:

  • Post Deployment Experiences
  • Civilian Reintegration
  • Moral Injury
  • Information systems and mobile health
  • Veteran Courts
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
  • Depression and suicide prevention
  • Military families
  • Treatment advances
  • Wrap-around services
  • Veteran peer mentorship
  • Employment & retraining
  • Veteran studies
  • Military experience and the arts
  • Community partnership strategies with veteran organizations

 

PRESENTATION TYPES:  The academic portion of the conference will include two types of presentations

  • Collaborative, interdisciplinary symposia: 90-minute group presentations optimally integrating veteran, researcher/scholar, and clinical perspectives on collaboratively developed projects designed to address complex issues with veteran care.  Projects can be at any stage of development, but should be able to demonstrate meaningful engagement across the perspectives of the different stakeholder groups, negotiating differences in approach and priorities.  Projects that utilize a Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR), Community Engagement in Research (CEnR), or Collaborative Design perspective are particularly encouraged to apply.
  • Extended Poster Discussion: Posters focused on research, scholarship, and/or clinical innovation focused on veterans.  Poster session is designed to encourage active discussion between presenters and attendees from a wide variety of backgrounds.  Veteran related projects at any stage are welcome, including undergraduate and graduate student research, as well as works by veterans and veteran serving organizations.

 

 

Submission Format: Please complete attached submission form with an abstract (maximum 250 words).  We welcome abstracts of original work that have not been peer reviewed previously and those that have been peer reviewed and accepted for presentation at another meeting – but have not yet been presented regionally in the Midwest.  Projects involving human subjects research are expected to comply with IRB/regulatory considerations.  Complete required information on the abstract form.
NOTE: Posters and presentations will be judged in part on their ability to communicate findings to a broad audience that includes non-academics.
