Advancing equitable representation
in medical research for all

Pledge Now

What is the pledge-to-RISE movement?

RISE stands for Research with Inclusion, Social justice and E​quity.
The #pledgetoRISE movement aims to advance equitable representation in medical research cohorts by empowering clinical researchers to take the first step towards data transparency together and report the demographic breakdown of research cohorts by race/ethnicity in their future work.

​In modern medicine, patient management guidelines are developed from medical research outcomes. Therefore, equitable medical research strategies are needed to produce non-biased and equitable patient management guidelines for patients of all backgrounds. Let's work together to create 'color-conscious' not colorblind research.
White Americans make up 83% of clinical trial participants, but only 60% of the US population.
(Yates et al. Clinical Researcher 2020)
An overwhelming 95% of medical literature is colorblind
​(Bokor-Billmann et al. J Clin Epidemiol 2020)

Implicit Bias Tests

It is human nature to have bias, and that's okay. Discovering and acknowledging your implicit associations are the first steps toward preventing bias from influencing your research.

Research Guide

Historically excluded populations will make up at least 55% of the US population by 2060. Check out our collaborative research guide for tips on how to make sure your team is on track to producing equitable research.
Get Started
For decades the medical community has adopted a "Don't Say Race" approach to clinical research.
