Advancing Health Literacy in Clinical Research: Clear Communications for Every Participant
In Science Magazine, Dr. Barbara Bierer describes the COVID-19 Collaboration Platform.
In Science Magazine, MRCT Center Faculty Director Barbara Bierer along with her COVID-19 Collaboration Platform colleagues details the need for a home for clinical trial protocols that are available for collaboration.
“To increase the power of RCTs, we have created a pilot repository for RCT protocols led by principal investigators who are open to various levels of collaboration. On the COVID-19 Collaboration Platform (CovidCP.org), researchers can submit their draft or completed protocols and find collaborators.

Clinical Research Glossary website
Project-Specific Website
In 2020, the MRCT Center launched a pilot project to develop a plain language clinical research glossary with an amazing workgroup of patient advocates and other representatives from across the clinical research industry.
The team worked together to create clinical research definitions and explanations that are:
- plain language
- understandable to a wide audience
- in line with industry and regulatory standards
For more information, please visit the MRCT Center Clinical Research Glossary website.
