Part of the Center for Equity in Research, Integrating Special Populations (ISP) facilitates research that promotes health equity for populations that have traditionally been underrepresented in health research or excluded altogether, including:

• Infants and children/pediatric populations (birth to 21 years)

• Adolescents and young adults

• Older adults    

• People with disabilities and/or rare disorders

• People who have been underserved or underrepresented in clinical research (e.g., African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos, rural populations, and populations with low socioeconomic status).
