Graphic showing the need, the problem and the solution that the Community Coalition is addressing. The problem: Research efforts tend to engage communities after studies have been designed. This makes it hard to change the studies to address community concerns. The Need: A source for high-quality community input on research as it is being developed. Trusted & trustworthy community partners who can share input about trials with their communities. Our Solution: A standing, trained community coalition that provides feedback on research to increase equity and use of community-engaged principles. Communication vehicles highlight responsive studies. Co-led with community and clinical partners.
