Abstract:
American Indian and Alaska Native people are historically underrepresented in clinical research, for understandable reasons. Inclusion of AI/AN people in clinical research is vital to ensure our understanding of treatment, disease causation, and prevention applies also to AI/AN populations. Clinical research is vital for translation of scientific observations and laboratory discoveries into new approaches to diagnose, treat and prevent diseases. The NIH intramural research program is housed in the NIH Clinical Center (CC) in Bethesda, Maryland, the nation's largest publicly funded hospital devoted entirely to clinical research. The NIH is well-known for conducting cutting edge, high-risk high-reward studies that have resulted in many clinical and medical innovations that are common practice today, and typically focuses on rare and severe diseases and conditions. People eligible for participating in any study at the NIH CC can do so at no cost, with all travel and accommodations typically covered by the NIH. The NIH is often referred to also as the National Institutes of Hope, as many patients who are cared for at the NIH CC have often exhausted all other treatments for sometimes life-threatening diseases, illnesses, and conditions.
