Request for Proposals, Due Monday, March 9th
The 11th annual Poverty Research Workshop will take place on Thursday, April 9th from 8:30am-12:30pm at The Buffalo History Museum. Hosted by the Homeless Alliance of Western New York, Partnership for the Public Good, and Buffalo Commons, the event is free and open to anyone, including classes of students. The workshop is designed for local scholars, social service agencies, advocates, government leaders and staff, and the general public. It offers everyone concerned with Buffalo’s poverty the chance to hear about new research, promising strategies, and opportunities for collaboration.
We encourage scholars, practitioners, graduate students, and anyone with the following areas of
expertise to apply:
Research/information directly relevant to issues of poverty in the Buffalo-Niagara region
Solutions-focused research on practices, policies, or programs not yet in Buffalo, but that could be adopted or applied in this region
You may be accepted into a solo presentation or community conversation. Each of these formats will
require ~7-15 minute presentations with time left for Q&A. Creative formats are welcome.
There is also space for poster sessions and information tables.
To Apply:

and your CV/resume to Kristin Ksiazek, Collaboration and Research Specialist for Buffalo Commons,
