RESOURCE NURSE

The Scripps Research Digital Trials Center (DTC) oversees a portfolio of innovative research programs that aim to increase participation and representation in medical research and clinical trials using digital technologies. These technologies have enormous potential to better understand health behaviors (e.g., returning individualized information) and transform the participant experience with medical research. DTC’s portfolio includes The Participant Center (TPC) for the All of Us Research Program (AoURP). AoURP is a landmark NIH-funded effort to engage one million US participants from diverse social, racial/ethnic, economic, and other backgrounds to gain insights into the biological, environmental, and behavioral factors that influence human health. The program has recruited over 550,000 participants and about 50% of participants belong to racial/ethnic groups that have been historically underrepresented in biomedical research. TPC designs and implements strategies for direct-to-participant enrollment across the country and aims to keep diverse populations of participants engaged in The Program for years to come.
