Recruitment, Innovation and Study Engagement (RISE) Program

The Recruitment, Innovation and Study Engagement (RISE) Program provides support for enhancing the recruitment and retention of participants in research studies.

We provide expertise and guidance by identifying gaps, barriers and opportunities to improve recruitment strategies and collaborating with investigators to develop effective, tailored solutions.

The RISE Program serves in an advisory capacity by offering resources and strategic support rather than providing direct research coordination.

Areas of Support

• Provide recruitment and retention consultations

• Offer feedback on participant-facing study materials

• Give guidance on best practices for recruitment and retention

• Identify and tailor recruitment resources, tools and strategies to address the unique needs of investigators and study teams

• Connect researchers to relevant resources from other modules within the CTPH, as well as resources available through Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Houston and the NIH-supported Recruitment Innovation Center
