DEI in Clinical Research: Tools & Resources for Incorporating DEI in IRB/HRPP Processes (AAHRPP poster)
Poster
Presented on: May 2023
Presented at: 2023 Annual AAHRPP Conference
The MRCT Center has developed a set of practical diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) tools for IRBs and HRPPs, designed to improve the involvement of underrepresented populations in clinical research. In 2021, a task force of 28 IRB and HRPP professionals, convened by the MRCT Center, created 15 DEI tools. The tools underwent rigorous review and revision during nine months of monthly meetings and additional correspondence.
Three highlighted tools in the poster include:
- Checklist of Logistical and Procedural Considerations: Assists in lowering barriers to inclusion, covering Pre-Study, On-Study, and Post-Study Considerations.
- HRPP Planning Strategy to Address DEI: Offers a plan involving support, key stakeholders, guidance utilization, and process evaluation.
- Incorporation of Diversity and Inclusion into Clinical Research Protocol Templates: Provides DEI recommendations within protocols, along with annotated examples.
Hayat Ahmed, MS, Program Manager at the MRCT, showcased this poster at the Annual AAHRPP conference in May 2023. Conference participants awarded Ms. Ahmed the distinguished poster prize.
Data sharing in the context of community-engaged research partnerships
Publication
Published on: May, 2023
Published in: Social Science & Medicine
Description: As data sharing is expanded in the context of greater community engagement in research, we must ask to whom do benefits of data sharing accrue and to whom do benefits not accrue? In an era of growing efforts to engage diverse communities in research, the impact of data sharing for all research participants and the communities that they represent requires the reassessment of the principles of data sharing, incorporating principles of community-engaged research. This article outlines these considerations and proposes new models of benefit sharing.
