Thank You for Making the 2026 Research Symposium a Success!
​
The Healthy Flint Research Coordinating Center (HFRCC) extends our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us for our 9th Annual Research Symposium on September 11, 2026.
​
This year’s theme, “Improving Communication in Science: Building Collaboration, Building Partnership,” reflects what we believe is at the heart of meaningful research—bringing people together to share knowledge, exchange perspectives, and build relationships grounded in trust and mutual respect. We are grateful to the community members, researchers, public health professionals, students, community-based organizations, government representatives, presenters, exhibitors, volunteers, and partners who helped make this year’s Symposium a meaningful and engaging experience.
​
At HFRCC, we believe that partnership is essential to building stronger communities and ensuring that research is responsive to the needs and priorities of the people it is intended to serve. Thank you for helping us create opportunities for communication, collaboration, and partnership.
We look forward to continuing this important work together!
