Treatments and vaccines must be safe and effective for everyone. Diversity in medical science is essential, and NIH is committed to removing barriers, building trust, and ensuring that participants in any clinical trial represent all the people who will use the drug or vaccine being studied.

People who are African American, Hispanic/Latino, or American Indian/Alaska Native are three times more likely than White people to be hospitalized with COVID-19.

COVID-19 treatments and vaccines will be safer and more effective for everyone who needs them if study volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

At each step of the scientific pathway toward safe vaccines and treatments, you will find a diverse group of people working to conquer the COVID-19 pandemic.
