The American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP) is collaborating with researchers from the Texas A&M University Irma Lerma Rangel College of Pharmacy on a grant funded by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Office of Minority Health and Health Equity (OMHHE) Innovation award: Covid-19 and Health Equity project: Pharmacy Advances Clinical Trials (PACT) Network to Achieve Diversity in COVID Clinical Trials: A Strategic Framework.
As part of the project, AACP is collecting information from pharmacy schools about activities aimed at increasing the diversity of clinical trial participants to develop a comprehensive picture of current activities and available resources within pharmacy education.
The information collected will be used to create a public resource and develop training materials related to pharmacy and clinical trial diversity.
