04 Feb Connect with Community Advisors through the ITHS Preclinical Engagement Program
The ITHS Preclinical Engagement Program (PEP) is a new, free program for preclinical researchers. The program uses community engagement principles to match researchers with community members to serve as advisors on their studies. The goal is to bring the perspectives of patients and communities into the early stages of research, ensuring research decisions are informed by the real-world experiences, needs, and priorities of those impacted by the health outcome being studied.
