CTSC Announces 2023 READI Programming

Give the Gift that Keeps on Giving and Invest in Your READI Knowledge 

This article is a part of our CTSC special feature series.

As we begin to reflect on conversations we’ve started through our Mission: Health Equity Challenge Series (Mission: HECS) and related events that center principles and values of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) in research and beyond, we look forward to kicking off three new DEIA tracks for our research and caregiver communities.

Numerous studies prove that repetition or exposure to new concepts and ideas multiple times increases the likelihood of being able to recall and apply new information.

The three tracks are: (1) Research Equity, Accessibility, Diversity, and Inclusion (READI) Research Policy Impact Series, (2) READI Special Populations Roundtable Talks, and a (3) READI Community Engagement Series.
