Schools of Public Health and Pharmacy are pairing up to
increase
the participation of racially, ethnically and linguistically
diverse groups in research studies and clinical trials conducted
by the University and its partners. The University has a
national reputation for its research in the areas of hypertension/heart
disease, diabetes, and obesity and these have been identified
as areas of focus. Unfortunately, the University’s
reputation as a research institution among the state’s
diverse populations has not been positive. You are a member
of the leadership team appointed to a special task force
take on this charge. |
Goal
To develop
a strategic plan to increase the participation of racially,
ethnically and linguistically diverse populations
in
hypertension/heart disease, diabetes, and obesity research that
is built upon partnerships between the University and the state’s
diverse communities.
