M.A.V.E.R.I.C.K Community Partner Survey |
In Spring 2024, WVCTSI will launch an exciting new program to bring clinical trials to the most rural parts of West Virginia. M.A.V.E.R.I.C.K is a mobile clinical trials unit -- a 40 foot RV-style vehicle that will offer 2 exam rooms, waiting/intake area and telehealth capacity to safely engage participants in clinical trials. In WVCTSI's recent community forums, community members reported that they have not participated in clinical trials because they have not been asked and WVCTSI aims to change that.
Partnering with the West Virginia Practice-Based Network, M.A.V.E.R.I.C.K will work with community clinics and other organizations to provide clinical trial opportunities in even the most rural areas of the state. To introduce M.A.V.E.R.I.C.K beginning in April 2024 M.A.V.E.R.I.C.K will be on display and on the road for the public to get to know the program. To better understand how M.A.V.E.R.I.C.K can best serve your community, we would love to hear from you.
