D&I Site Resource Grants Program
In 2024, ACRO announced its D&I Site Resource Grants Program. Designed to support an innovative 12-month pilot project, the site resource grants act as a platform to incubate innovative strategies for improving representative enrollment in clinical research. Seven community sites were selected as grant recipients based on their strong pilot project plans, commitment to driving more representative clinical research, and demonstrated need for the grant funds.
