Best Practices for Clinical Research Sponsors in Diverse Populations

Diversity in clinical research isn’t just a regulatory checkbox—it’s a scientific necessity. Without inclusive trials, the data guiding drug development can miss key population-specific responses. At BioResearch Partner (BRP), we’ve made diversity a cornerstone of our operations—not an afterthought.

For sponsors looking to increase representation in their studies, here’s what works—and how BRP leads by example.

The Diversity Gap in Research

Despite decades of effort, many trials still underrepresent minorities, women, and patients with comorbid conditions. This leads to:

  • Biased or incomplete efficacy and safety data
  • Reduced generalizability of trial results
  • Delayed approvals or added post-market study requirements

The need for change is urgent—and actionable.

BRP’s Diversity-First Framework

At BRP, 55% of enrolled participants identify as Hispanic, and our database includes over 573,000 individuals from across socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds.

Here’s how we ensure our trials reflect the real world:

Community-rooted recruitment
Our sites are embedded in diverse neighborhoods—with bilingual teams, culturally aligned outreach, and partnerships with local organizations and clinics.

Trust-building over time
We don’t just show up when it’s time to recruit. We maintain ongoing engagement through health fairs, education events, and patient advocacy partnerships.

Barrier reduction
We offer transportation assistance, extended hours, childcare support, and multilingual materials to make participation accessible.

Staff training in cultural competence
From our physicians to our front-desk staff, everyone is trained to deliver care with empathy, respect, and cultural sensitivity.

Why It Matters to Sponsors

When your trial reflects the real-world population, you gain:

  • More robust, generalizable data
  • Faster FDA approvals and fewer post-market surprises
  • Enhanced brand reputation and community trust
  • Greater alignment with DEI goals and regulatory expectations

Diverse trials aren’t just ethical—they’re strategic.

Lessons for Sponsors: What Works

If you’re designing or managing a trial, here are best practices drawn from our success:

  • Start diversity planning early—at the protocol stage
  • Choose research partners with local reach and trust
  • Allocate budget for outreach and education
  • Involve community leaders and patient advocates
  • Track enrollment demographics in real time

At BRP, we’ve hardwired these steps into our operating model.

Inclusion Is Innovation

AI, advanced diagnostics, and digital tools help streamline operations—but none of it matters without the human data that reflects all of us.

That’s why BRP continues to lead in inclusive enrollment, making sure research moves forward with everyone in mind.
