Training Researchers to Advance Inclusion Networks (TRAIN)

The Training Researchers to Advance Inclusion Networks (TRAIN) Center is a collaborative effort between the Stanford University School of Medicine and Morehouse School of Medicine. The TRAIN Center aims to establish a coordinated training program that will empower scientists to advance the field of clinical research and foster inclusivity in scientific endeavors. Through a combination of classes, community meetings, career development opportunities, and peer-to-peer learning, the TRAIN initiative will provide scientists with the knowledge and skills needed to conduct studies in full partnership with patients and communities.

The TRAIN Center has developed an open-access curriculum that is structured around five core modules, encompassing the essential components of clinical research, as well as critical topics related to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion; and community engagement and community-based participatory research. The modules of the curriculum are designed to provide post-doctoral scholars and early-career investigators with an understanding of best practices for conducting research in an inclusive and equitable manner.
