Community Conversations
The ENGAGE Working Group is tasked with developing a holistic approach for engaging the public in clinical research. To inform this work, the NIH Office of Science Policy is hosting 10 in-person conversations and 2 virtual conversations with communities across the country to hear directly from members of the public on their perspectives on clinical research engagement. Each conversation will feature community members sharing their individual thoughts, ideas, and preferences for engaging in clinical research. After each conversation, the main ideas we heard will be summarized and posted here on the ENGAGE website. Further information about these events can be obtained by emailing [email protected]
