Notes

Community engagement strategy

  • VIVO Camps
    • Scheduled based on critical mass of interest. Somewhat ad hoc
    • Do we need new criteria?
    • Camps so far have had fairly low turnout
    • Can we gauge interest ahead of time?
    • Need to plan in advance - ideally 6 months or more
    • Create a survey to gauge interest
    • Where to host?
      • Weill Cornell, Duke, UNC?
  • Conferences
    • Where/when is the next VIVO conference?
    • Workshops and user group meetings alongside other conferences
    • Ann working on a membership reminder email for VIVO conference attendees

Prospects

  • Ann emailing sites from registry to gather information
