Voucher Award

The Voucher Award is a strategic initiative intended to address key barriers that hinder research access and participation of any population demographic with historically low research engagement. The program provides financial support that promotes the recruitment of study populations by making funds available to address essential needs such as transportation, caregiving (including childcare and elder care), study advertisement and other critical social support services.  The program enables broader access to research opportunities that support the advancement of novel therapeutics that improve health outcomes across communities we serve.
