As NCA approaches (which sadly I won't be able to attend this year), I figured it would be worth posting a few notes about activities going on in San Diego...
(1) The Health Communication Top Papers panel will be held Saturday at 12:30 in Manchester B. The Health Communication Business Meeting will be held immediately following: Saturday at 2 pm, also in Manchester B. At the business meeting, we will be honoring the NCA/ICA Outstanding Health Communication Scholar in addition to giving other awards and electing new officers.
(2) The Health Communication Bi-Annual Doctoral and Early Career Pre-Conference will be held on Thursday from 9 am – 5 pm in Elizabeth F. The theme of this year’s pre-conference is “Innovation through Collaboration.” Athena du Pre and Evelyn Ho have planned a wonderful program for the day. Onsite registration will be taken (there is a $50 fee). If you plan to register onsite, please contact Evelyn Ho (eyho@usfca.edu) prior to the conference.
(3) There will be a panel sponsored by the NCA Research Board entitled: National Cancer Institute (NCI) Health Communication Initiatives and Funding. This panel will focus on current programs in Health Communication at the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health. The panelists will discuss current programs, funding opportunities for communication researchers, and tips for seeking funding. It is a wonderful opportunity to hear from senior program officers at NCI who are involved in funding health communication projects. It will be held Sunday at 8 am in Manchester C.
(4) Finally, there will be a meeting of the Coalition for Health Communication on Friday at 6:30 in the Connaught room. Anyone who wants to get involved is welcome to come.
