Community Feedback Opportunities
Community Engagement Studios bring together researchers and community members to share ideas about a study. Your feedback could help our experts design better studies, make research more relevant to community needs, and build trust.
These studios are small group discussions—usually about 15 people—and last about 90 minutes. You’ll hear a short presentation, then share your thoughts and questions. Sessions are held online, and you’ll be compensated for your time.
Have questions? We’re here to help. Our experts are available to answer your questions about participating in clinical research.
