Bill overview
The Diversifying Investigations Via Equitable Research Studies for Everyone Trials Act (DIVERSE Trials Act) aims to improve diversity in clinical trials and data collection, particularly regarding COVID-19 and future public health emergencies. The bill directs the FDA to create guidance on decentralized clinical trials, encourages the free provision of digital health technologies to clinical trial participants, and mandates that laboratories reporting COVID-19 test data collect demographic information including social determinants of health. It also supports community outreach and establishes a framework for a national interoperable data platform to facilitate data sharing during public health crises.
