Diversity & Inclusion
IMPACT is committed to inclusivity and equitable representation of all people in our collaborative. IMPACT aims to expand the collaborative to include more people from populations and diverse groups that are generally underrepresented in the literature and academia. IMPACT is committed to engaging with patients who live with the diseases that IMPACT investigates, so that we generate outcomes which are meaningful to them.
