Research & Clinical Trials

The Research & Clinical Trials Committee promotes patient-centered, ethical, and community-engaged approaches to clinical research across infectious diseases. It was established to enhance transparency, bridge trust between communities and science, and strengthen literacy around clinical trials.

Key priorities include:

•  Advancing ethical practices and equity in clinical trial design

•  Building partnerships with patient advocacy groups and research networks

•  Supporting IDA’s Clinical Trials Dashboard as a global transparency tool

•  Promoting community engagement and co-authorship in research outputs

This committee fosters collaboration across disciplines to ensure research not only meets global standards, but also reflects local needs and values.
