Community Think Tank on Research Recruitment
The UMB PATIENTS Program regularly hosts Community Think Tanks to improve research protocols to make them patient and community-centered. UMB faculty are invited to apply to receive advice on how to make their clinical and translational research proposals, or active projects, more patient and community-centered. The Community Think Tanks are comprised of esteemed leaders from the West Baltimore community and are a space where community leaders work with researchers to co-develop culturally appropriate community-engaged research. For more context on what this looks like, you can watch this short video.
To learn more about and/or apply to an upcoming Community Think Tank, please contact Andrelle Mathelier, lead research project coordinator with the PATIENTS Program, at amathelier@rx.umaryland.edu
