Community Research Advocates (CRAs)
PROGRAM TYPE: Volunteer Role
AGES: Adults
LENGTH: About 2 hours of training. Time spent meeting with small groups to share information varies, but about 1 hour.
Community Research Advocates (CRAs) inform community members about the value of participation in health research through the Research Ready story. The Research Ready story introduces the topic of health research and how to decide whether to participate. The story focuses on three big ideas: (1) health research uses organized methods to understand disease risk and improve the health of people, (2) people of all ages and backgrounds need to take part in research so the results are safe and relevant for everyone, (3) rules and regulations protect and ensure the safety of human subjects participating in research.
As a CRA, you meet with small groups of teens through adults to share and discuss the “Research Ready” story.
