Research Participants and Communities

The Regulatory Knowledge and Support program seeks to promote and facilitate high-quality, ethical research in an environment committed to excellence and compliance by ensuring inclusive, mutually respectful engagement with communities and research participants. Such engagement is integral to conscientious progress in clinical and translational research and in the health of our diverse communities.

Research Subject Advocacy (RSA)

Recognizing the need for expertise and education pertaining to the protection of human subjects and participant advocacy, the Research Subject Advocacy (RSA) program serves as a resource for study participants, and potential study participants, as well as for institutions, investigators, and study staff. The RSA program also engages with the public at local health events, providing information on, and answering questions regarding, participation in health research.
