Abstract

Abstract Achieving diversity in clinical trials that reflects the epidemiology of the people and populations affected by diseases and conditions requires an integrated multi-pronged, multi-sector approach and one that is community-informed. This includes among other components community outreach and engagement, patient voice in study design, a culturally competent workforce of clinical trial investigators and team members who are committed to serving URM, and locating clinical trial sites in heavily diverse communities. Bristol Myers Squibb is taking steps and the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation is making important philanthropic investments on these fronts to drive diversity in clinical trials. The presentation will provide an overview of these efforts, their specific interventions and lessons learned. Citation Format: Patricia M. Doykos.
