The objective of the Stanford Think Tank on Diversity and Health Equity in Clinical Trials is to bridge connections between stakeholders in order to engage in thought-provoking and meaningful discussion that addresses the current lack of diversity in clinical trials. Through these synergies, we aim to propose effective and innovative recommendations that can improve the enrollment of underrepresented participant populations and advance the science of diversity in clinical trials.

  • To bring together academic, industry, and community partners to:
  • Advance diversity in clinical trials across the board
  • Promote health equity
  • Understand needs, identify barriers, and brainstorm solutions
  • Share experiences and shape best practices
  • Create opportunities for future collaboration
