Dear Colleague:

We are pleased to introduce you to the exhibit opportunities at the 12th RCMI International Symposium on Health Disparities, to convene in Nashville, Tennessee on December 6-9, 2010. Our program is designed to create an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and sharing information. I am writing to extend an invitation to you and your organization to exhibit during this symposium and increase visibility of your organization by participating as an exhibitor. Additionally, we offer an advertising opportunity as a compliment to your exhibit or as an alternative if you are unable to exhibit.

Why Exhibit at RCMI2010? Exhibiting during this Symposium provides an opportunity to:

• Meet and network with colleagues and fellow RCMI program faculty, staff and students

• Strengthen relationships between programs and institutions

• Keep up to date with your colleagues’ work

• Showcase your range of experiences, insights, and collaborative opportunities

• Launch new partnerships and collaborative ideas and products

• Recruit faculty and students to your institution and programs.

We look forward to welcoming researchers and students to this educational event who are at various stages in their career. The Research Centers in Minority Institutions (RCMI) support is provided by the NCRR Division of Research Infrastructure (NCRR-DRI), a component of the National Institutes of Health. The NCRR-DRI provides funding to recruit established and promising researchers, acquire advance instrumentation, renovate laboratories for competitive research, fund core research facilities, and other research support.

To this end, we have implemented an activity that promotes learning through interactive interpretation, as a component of a Research Pipeline program. The Research Pipeline provides information about health technology, tools about health, prevention topics, and wellness. The participation of local educational partners will bring together Grades 9-12, undergraduate, graduate students, and researchers with the intent of providing an experience that will inspire those individuals to seek more scientific and health related information, as a part of the Symposium. We believe that this will provide information to these individuals, while introducing your organization for potential partnerships in the future.
