On Monday, September 13, 2021, join the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine for a virtual event to inform our consensus study report, Improving the Representation of Women and Underrepresented Minorities in Clinical Trials and Research. Clinical trials and clinical research often does not represent the demographic diversity of the populations that these novel drugs and interventions aim to serve. This workshop will include a discussion with journal editors on the role of medical journals in promoting more diverse trials; an exploration of the role of institutional review boards in promoting clinical trial equity and diversity; and a conversation about ongoing efforts that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services are undertaking to promote health equity and diversity. The workshop panels and discussions will inform the ongoing work of the National Academies Committee on Improving the Representation of Women and Underrepresented Minorities in Clinical Trials and Research.
The report is sponsored by the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The audience will have an opportunity to engage through moderated Q&A throughout the agenda. Please contact jveras@nas.edu for event inquiries.

On behalf of the Office of HIV/AIDS Network Coordination (HANC) and Community Partners (CP), we invite you to attend the How to Critically (and Quickly) Read a Protocol Webinar.
Understanding a protocol is important for community members interested in engaging in clinical research. One of the challenges for community members participating in protocol development is learning how to critically review a protocol from a community perspective. CP, a group of community representatives working across the five National Institutes of Health (NIH) HIV/AIDS Clinical Trials Networks, is honored to feature the following panelists to discuss this topic: Neetha Morar, Jan Kosmyna, and Jeffrey Schouten.
Panelists will review and highlight how to critically and quickly review the following components of a protocol as outlined in the updated How to Critically (and Quickly) Read a Protocol document, which will soon be published and distributed widely:
• Cover Sheet and Protocol Team Membership
• Study Objectives
• Protocol Summary
• Study Design
• Study Population
• Informed Consent Template
• Other: Barriers to Participation, Review for Stigmatizing Language, Resources
This webinar is open to anyone interested in learning more about this topic and corresponding document. We hope that you will join this engaging and enlightening discussion.
Date: 8 September 2021
Time: 11 am - Noon PDT / 2 pm EDT / 8 pm SAST / 9 pm EAT
