Consultation

SPRC’s Consultation Service aims at working with research teams across all UMass campuses when their projects involve working with special populations. We define special populations as those under-represented in translational research because of age (i.e., pediatrics, geriatrics), race/ethnicity, low socioeconomic status, geographic location (rural or urban), or being Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender (LGBT).

Our consultation service offers advice in recruitment and retention as well as potential connections at the community level for research teams to engage in participatory processes in their research.  

If you are part of a research team from any of the UMass campuses working with special populations, please complete the following form, so we can get in touch with you.
