Research & Clinical Trials
Championing community-centred, transparent, and equitable infectious disease research through civil society engagement in trial governance and policy.
The Research and Clinical Trials Committee advocates for clinical research that reflects the needs and rights of affected communities. We engage WHO R&D Blueprint, CEPI, and regulatory bodies - developing civil society positions on equitable trial access, community consent, transparent reporting, and research priority-setting. Our work bridges the gap between scientific evidence and the communities whose health depends on it.
