About

A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine organized a public workshop to explore opportunities to improve representation in clinical trials with a focus on system-level change and collective efforts across organizations and sectors that no one entity can effectively take on alone. This workshop built upon previous meetings hosted by the Clinical Trials Transformation Initiative in June 2023, the Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard in September 2023, and Milken Institute's FasterCures in November 2023.
The public workshop featured invited presentations and discussions to:

Explore strategies for equitable participation, including innovative trial designs and partnerships to support community investment, engagement, and workforce development.
Highlight ways that stakeholders can contribute to sustainable and scalable public awareness campaigns.
Discuss business plans and funding mechanisms to allocate financial resources to improve clinical trial diversity.
Consider ways to enable established and developing sites to increase capacity to conduct more equitable and representative clinical trials.
Examine components of national, interoperable, and accountable systems for collecting and sharing condition-specific demographic data.
