Accessible and Inclusive Research Practices

Brian Turner, product director at the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), created and developed a clinical trial recruitment tool for the public to easily access and register for UCSF studies.

The UCSF Office of Disability Access and Inclusion (ODAI), part of the Office of Diversity and Outreach, presents the following best practices for enabling research participants with disabilities to participate in research studies at UCSF. UCSF engages in the interactive process to assist individuals with disabilities to participate equitably as research participants. Reasonable modifications (commonly called accommodations) are a key part of this process.

The UCSF IRB strongly encourages enrollment of people with disabilities. Please review the Participant Accessibility Guidelines (Requires MyAccess). For questions about the guidelines, please contact the UCSF Office of Disability Access and Inclusion. To receive consultation on implementing the guidelines, please submit a consultation request to UCSF CTSI Consultation Services.”
