Join us for Pitch Partners: Centering Racial Equity! This is an open call for projects project ideas that focus on racial and ethnic health equity issues across St. Louis.
At Pitch Partners, we bring local university researchers and the community together to tackle challenging issues. Up to five selected individuals and/or teams will present five minute pitch-style presentations to a panel of reviewers. Presenters may include a variety of visual media, including but not limited to slides, videos, and handouts. Following each pitch, presenters will hear feedback from the panel and participate in Q&A with the audience. The event will end with pitch-specific breakout rooms for networking, sharing insights and additional input, and beginning to develop partnerships.
This Pitch Partners is focused broadly around racial equity. Examples of topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Access to appropriate and timely health services
- African American and Black health
- Asian-American health
