Global Institute for Research & Community Advancement Student Conference
The Global Institute for Research and Community Advancement (GIRCA) is a collaborative network of Seventh-day Adventist colleges and universities dedicated to advancing research, training, capacity-building, and community impact.
Our goal is to build a sustainable, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research consortium that enhances research through collaboration, shared resources, ongoing training, mentorship, and workforce development (certification and publications) within our network of universities, colleges, and affiliated health institutions. We aim to prepare faculty, students, church officials, and community members to conduct and lead impactful community-engaged research that addresses urgent health, social, and economic challenges.
