We’re amplifying an opportunity that centers patient voices in diabetes research.
The Alliance for Community Health Plans is launching a Diabetes Patient and Family Caregiver Committee to help ensure research is shaped by the people most impacted.
Too often, research is done about communities instead of with them. This committee is different. It will advise nonprofit, community-based health plans on how to conduct patient-centered research that reflects real lived experience.
They are seeking Black men and women living with Type 2 diabetes to serve on the committee. Lived experience matters. Insight matters. Representation matters.
What participation looks like:
• Three Zoom meetings in 2026, starting in May
• Each meeting lasts 1 to 2 hours
• Brief materials to review beforehand, about 15 to 20 minutes
• $50 per meeting as a thank you for your time
If you or someone in your network may be interested, consider sharing this opportunity. Research improves when community voices are at the table.
