The Navajo Nation Human Research Review Board (NNHRRB) was established in March 1996 to guarantee ethical research was conducted and completed within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation for the benefit of the Dine people.  There has been much outstanding research completed that needs to be shared with the Dine people. As such, we are pleased to announce the NNHRRB 2007 conference as a venue to share the information on past research findings and information on research currently being conducted on the Navajo Nation.

Conference Theme: History of research on the Navajo Nation: How has your research benefited the Navajo Nation?
