Community & Academic Partnerships:

Learning from the Past, Focusing on the Future

The Community & Academic Partnerships: Learning from the Past, Focusing on the Future workshop was held Tuesday, February 26, 2013.  The day focused on disseminating lessons learned from over 100 previously funded projects and encouraging additional learning through bi-directional conversation.  In addition, ample opportunities were provided to network and build additional relationships.
