Who We Are: The Montagnard / Asian Community Disparities Research Network

We are a network of scholars, professionals, advocates, and community members dedicated to scholarship and community building. 

FOUNDED IN 2012, the Montagnard / Asian Community Disparities Research Network has a long history of working with the Montagnard community and other unique groups within our region, including other refugee and immigrant populations. 

Formerly housed at the University of North Carolina Greensboro's Center for New North Carolinians (2012-18), we are now hosted by the Montagnard Dega Association. 

We work in close partnership with MDA's Community Advisory Committee (CAC) to promote best community practices for research, scholarship, service learning, and community engagement projects. These relationships declare our belief in scholarship that responds to community needs. More information here.
