The MRCT Center’s project on Representation of Diverse Populations in Clinical Trials and Research aims to provide a principled, stakeholder approach to optimize the inclusion of diverse populations in clinical research when appropriate.
The focus of the work has been to understand, clarify, and promote the scientific basis for and ethical responsibilities to include participants of diverse populations in clinical trials.
The MRCT Center is excited to host the first face-to-face meeting for members of the workgroup. This event will provide an opportunity for the members to meet in-person to review, revise and discuss the draft guidance document. They will deliberate on points of disagreement, determine gaps that may be missing, and finalize deliverables.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided. Please note that invitees will need to register for the event in advance.
