SIREN's third national research conference, “Advancing the Science of Social Care” will take place at the Wyndham San Diego Bayside in San Diego, California on February 2-4, 2025

The SIREN 2025 National Research Meeting will bring together social care researchers, practitioners, community members, advocates, and policymakers to foster shared learning about the healthcare sector’s investments in social care programs and policies. The conference’s primary goals are to: 

  1. Share and examine recent research on social and medical care integration and alignment; 
  2. Identify and prioritize filling persistent research gaps in this field; and
  3. Foster new collaborations to deepen effectiveness and implementation research, community-engaged research, and the translation of research to practice

This conference is made possible through the foundational support of the Kaiser Permanente National Community Benefit Fund at The East Bay Community Foundation. A list of co-sponsors is included below.
