Engaging the community in Neuroscience Research:
Drawing on more than 25 years of combined experience in clinical research, clinical care, and healthcare settings, our featured speakers will demonstrate how familiar scientific approaches can be applied to recruitment, engagement, and retention (RER) in neuroscience. Led by Principal Investigator Jonathan Jackson, PhD, and Co-Investigator Helen Hemley, this event will:
Explore practical solutions for efficient and effective RER.
Demonstrate how to build community partnerships beyond engagement.
Discuss strategies to reach the public beyond a small group of stakeholders.
This event is part of a public lecture series supported by the Improving Recruitment Engagement, and Access for Community Health Equity for Human Neuroimaging Research (REACH for BRAIN) project.

The Use of Race and Ethnicity is Neuroscience Research: In this virtual event, Professor Ruqaijah Yearby and Dr. Margaret Moss will join us for a discussion of the report Rethinking Race and Ethnicity in Biomedical Research implications for equity in neuroscience research, their own backgrounds in health equity research, and the efforts of the REACH for BRAIN initiative in promoting equitable and community-engaged biomedical study recruitment. In addition, panelists will provide guidance for those engaged in equity research moving forward. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Francis X. Shen, co-Principal Investigator of the REACH for BRAIN initiative.
