CDS is focused on eliminating the global problem of minority under-representation in clinical trials by focusing the collective efforts of key stakeholders (Pharma, Biotech, CROs, Patient Advocacy Groups, and Technology) on minority recruitment. We will build trust among this underrepresented population by engaging at the fundamental levels of minority culture: faith, community life, and role models. We will tackle the negative connotations associated with the history of clinical research with honesty, empathy, respect, and knowledge. Only through acknowledging the past can we move the science of clinical trials forward to a future of diversity and inclusion.
