(BPRW) 3 Black Medical Schools Receive Funding to Improve Clinical Trials

(Black PR Wire) In a groundbreaking step towards addressing disparities in clinical research, Sanofi, a global health care company, has announced a $18 million investment over 10 years to support three Historically Black Medical Schools (HBMCs) in establishing Centers of Excellence for clinical study diversity. The initiative aims to increase the representation of Blacks in clinical research, which has historically been lacking.

The funding is expected to increase the capacity of Howard University College of MedicineMeharry Medical College, and Morehouse School of Medicine to conduct diverse clinical trials. This includes hiring clinical research staff, upgrading infrastructure, and developing customized training programs.

This funding attempts to address systemic barriers that have historically excluded Black individuals from clinical research.

This investment aligns with a growing recognition of the importance of diversity in clinical research, per the government’s latest FDA mandate. Historically, the underrepresentation of Black individuals in clinical trials has led to a lack of data on the effectiveness and safety of treatments for Black patients. By increasing representation, researchers can develop more equitable and effective healthcare interventions.

While this investment is a significant step forward, it is important to note that addressing disparities in clinical research requires a comprehensive approach. Continued advocacy for policies supporting diversity in research and investment in education and outreach programs are essential to build trust between healthcare providers and Black communities.

As the Centers of Excellence at Howard, Meharry, and Morehouse implement their initiatives, it is hoped that their efforts will contribute to a more equitable and inclusive future for clinical research.
