Enabling Networks of Research Infrastructure for Community Health Through Clinical Trials (ENRICH-CT)
Expanding Access to Clinical Trials: Insights from FasterCures’ ENRICH-CT Coalition
In FasterCures’ extensive work to capture lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear that the US lacked sufficient infrastructure near communities to run trials efficiently or to engage potential participants in the places where they live, work, and receive care.
About the Program
The Milken Institute’s FasterCures is leading Enabling Networks of Research Infrastructure for Community Health through Clinical Trials (ENRICH-CT), a multi-stakeholder initiative focused on driving dialogue and advancing practical solutions for ways the public and private sectors can support more infrastructure in the US for more inclusive clinical research.
ENRICH-CT’s Objectives
- This initiative develops and advances solutions by creating resources and recommending tools, policies, and practices to strengthen community research infrastructure.
- It convenes and connects diverse stakeholders to exchange ideas and elevate best practices.
- It builds capacity and sustainability through knowledge sharing, providing mentorship, and supporting cross-sector learning to bring research closer to communities and support long-term infrastructure.
