Works-in-Progress Sessions (WIPS)

The purpose of CPR3 WIPS is for research teams to “workshop” specific project components and receive feedback from other CPR3 researchers and individuals with policy and community perspectives. We hope that the exchange of ideas will spark new ideas and future collaborations. WIPS take place every Tuesday via Zoom from March 19 – June 26, 2024.
