Community-Based Research Infrastructure
Overview
COVID-19 revealed in stark terms the price to be paid for the lack of a comprehensive community-based research system that can generate evidence to answer a broad range of critical research questions, whether in the context of sponsor-driven product development trials, comparative effectiveness studies, or a fast-moving public health emergency. FasterCures aims to identify actions needed by key stakeholders to realize the potential of community-based research infrastructure and build a coordinated ecosystem of excellence to address future public health emergencies and prevalent health problems equitably.
Enabling Networks of Research Infrastructure for Community Health through Clinical Trials (ENRICH-CT)
ENRICH-CT serves as a precompetitive initiative to share best practices, support collective action on common challenges, and build an ecosystem of excellence that sustains the workforce, partnerships, resourcing, and technology needed to effectively conduct research closer to communities.
