CHAT Sessions: Conversations that strengthen research
Planning research in partnership with communities opens the door to meaningful insights and real-world impact — but it also requires careful thought, collaboration, and cultural understanding from the start.
That’s where CHAT Sessions come in. They’re one of several resources from the Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) designed to help researchers meaningfully connect with the communities they aim to benefit, while giving communities a voice in research.
Each CHAT Session is a professionally facilitated conversation that arms researchers with valuable community perspectives to enhance their study idea or protocol.
