Promoting Diverse Representation in Research

The UR CTSI is dedicated to engaging underrepresented populations – like those distinguished by language, disability, condition, risk, culture, geographic location/dispersion, socioeconomic status, race or ethnicity—at all levels of research and in all of our programs. With our expertise in community engagement and commitment to promoting diversity in the translational science workforce, we can help you integrate underrepresented populations into your research team or as participants in your health research studies.

Features

Our team will recommend approaches and resources used successfully with a specific population, or will work collaboratively with the research team and community partners to adapt approaches and resources for use with a new population or in a new setting.
