Cultivating an Effective Study Team through Application of Community-Engaged Research Principles
Please join the ICTR Community and Collaboration Core for our next Team Science Coffee Break February 21 at 1:00 pm. This session will provide a case study of a research team to conduct a multi-site clinical trial with immigrant older adults and their caregiver dyads (PLAN trial). Currently in project year 5, the presenters will share approaches and lessons learned for building and managing the PLAN team involving community partners and members from the immigrant community as essential part of the team structure for trust building, recruitment, intervention delivery, and dissemination of study findings.
