Diverse Research Now

Founded in 2023, Diverse Research Now Inc. is a nonprofit organization started due to the lack of diversity in clinical trials. We are working to ensure that underrepresented and underserved communities get access to highly qualified medical professionals and frequent medical care through clinical trial participation. 

Our mission is to empower historically underrepresented communities by bridging the gap in clinical research diversity. Through dynamic community engagement, strong advocacy, and tailored programs, we strive to ensure every voice is heard and every individual is supported. We are committed to creating inclusive opportunities that foster participation and representation across all facets of clinical research.
