Filling A Critical Translation Gap: Wake Forest Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) Collaborates in $2.7M National Study to Empower the Participant Voice

Pioneering initiative will collect and share nationally data on clinical trial participants' perceptions throughout the United States.

WINSTON SALEM, NOVEMBER 16, 2020: Wake Forest School of Medicine will serve as one of six sites nationally for the study Empowering the Participant Voice: Collaborative Infrastructure and Validated Tools for Collecting Participant Feedback to Improve the Clinical Research Enterprise (PAR-19-099, 1-U01- TR003206).  The study is supported by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS) as part of the national Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) collaborative. This study will:

• Utilize the Research Participant Perception Survey (RPPS), a breakthrough validated instrument for rapid collection of participant feedback through REDCap.
• Establish a collaborative analytics dashboard to evaluate participant feedback data from across the nation.
• Broadly disseminate the RPPS tool, making it available to other CTSA institutions, a network of 50+ academic medical centers, as well as the broader community of REDCap users.
