The Research Review Committee (RRC) is an inter-disciplinary committee and decision-making body that strategically reviews and approves research projects which ensure our mission, vision, values and ethical guidelines are followed.
In choosing our partners, we are vigilant about protecting the safety and confidentiality of our participants.
Our main goals in working with researchers are to enhance the quality of our services, promote diversity, equity, and inclusion and increase access to quality care. Our most successful partnerships result in research that improves our work and helps inform policymakers and experts in the medical, educational, and social services fields about effective, replicable models.
Mary’s Center regularly collaborates with scholars, academic institutions, scientists, foundations, industry and inventors in the umbrella of biomedicine, and federal and local health and human services departments, among others who desire to conduct community-based and participatory research.
The RRC meets twice per month and considers research proposals that can potentially enhance Mary’s Center’s resources and services or inform us of best practices in program design and outcomes. For example:
- Healthcare systems efficiency, improvement, and quality
- Social and behavioral sciences
- Participant engagement
- Patient-centered outcomes research
- Decrease/elimination of health disparities
- Innovative ideas and approaches with or without the use of technology
- Inter-generational workplace
- Work-life balance
- Policies to improve health, social determinants, and education at the local, national, or global level
