Society is increasingly seeking answers about the role and impact that race plays in every facet of medical research conducted in the US. This year, the CTSI has chosen to fashion our 2021 CTSI Symposium as a fresh opportunity for the BUMC/BMC/BU research community to ponder these questions, challenges, and the difficult decisions associated with this focus. We will discuss novel approaches to provide better designed race-informed research. You will learn from fellow researchers who have thoughtfully and rigorously applied anti-racist principles to engage in clinical and translational medical research. Our symposium has been designed to provide a safe, opportunity for you to think deeper about these essential issues and to challenge yourself to participate with your peers and colleagues in
an open, honest, and non-judgmental but challenging dialogue about race and research.
We sincerely hope you can join us!
