UCLA CTSI Integrating Special Populations Program (ISP)

The Integrating Special Populations Program (ISP) focuses on three special groups: children, older adults, and groups affected by health disparities. These groups are prioritized because of their poor health status in Los Angeles and nationally, the implications of their health for society including costs of care, and the emerging science of how life develops over the life course. The program works to catalyze and strengthen research in special populations in three ways: (1) by attempting to increase the number of investigators studying special populations; (2) by offering advice on study design and intense mentoring to improve the quality of research; and (3) through thoughtful recruitment/retention activities.
