What Is the UConn Pepper Center Recruitment and Community Engagement Core?<\/h3>\n

The UConn Pepper Center Recruitment and Community Engagement Core (RC1) provides expertise in the design and development of recruitment plans and implementation of multidisciplinary complex research projects involving older adults. These efforts address recruitment needs for clinical trials, community-based research and studies with a translational \u201cbench to bedside\u201d emphasis. The Core also partners with the UConn Health Disparities Institute to ensure research includes and asks questions relevant to communities of color and\/or communities most vulnerable to adverse health effects, and to strengthen culturally sensitive approaches in all phases.<\/p>\n

<\/o:p>In addition to these recruitment and community outreach efforts, RC1 also provides regulatory services (e.g., IRB application support) and helps investigators with Human Subjects and Clinical Trials Information grant sections and IRB protocol development.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
