What We Do

Our Vision

Community Expert Solutions envisions a future where inclusive, community-driven engagement in clinical research builds trust, enhances diversity, and empowers underrepresented communities to shape the future of healthcare.

 
 

1. Building Trust in Clinical Research

 
 

Our team brings years of experience in community engagement, working directly with African American, Latino, and underserved communities. We know that trust is essential, and we design engagement strategies that prioritize transparency, cultural sensitivity, and respect for community concerns. By partnering with Community Expert Solutions, your organization benefits from authentic, sustained connections with diverse populations.

We combine strategic social marketing with a deep understanding of community needs to design impactful outreach programs. We craft tailored social marketing campaigns that resonate with diverse audiences, increasing awareness and participation in clinical trials. From social media outreach to culturally relevant content, we ensure your message reaches the communities you aim to serve.

“I have had the pleasure of collaborating with CES for more than five years on community based research projects in New Haven, Baltimore, Washington DC, and rural North Carolina. They have supported my work integrating digital technologies with mixed methodologies to achieve health equity. They are the total package—highly knowledgeable in methods and recruitment, skilled in supporting dissemination and translation, professional, and energetic. Working with them is easy and fun as they bring a creative and social justice oriented lens to all projects. I intend to continue collaborating with them for years to come; they are exceptional!”— Tamara Taggart, PhD

 
 
 

2. Increasing Diversity in Clinical Research

 
 

Our mission is to make clinical research inclusive and reflective of all communities. Community Expert Solutions is dedicated to increasing diversity in clinical trials by addressing barriers and building trust within underrepresented populations. With our proven strategies, we help you achieve diversity goals and ensure that clinical trials benefit all communities, enhancing the overall quality and applicability of research outcomes.

 
 
 

3. Making Complex Information Accessible

 
 

One of our key strengths is translating complex clinical research into clear, accessible language for community members. Community Expert Solutions simplifies scientific information without losing accuracy, empowering participants to understand the benefits, risks, and impact of clinical research. We make clinical trials approachable, so communities feel confident and informed when deciding to participate.
