Something new and interesting is happening at Illinois Tech: a Local Design Studio!

The Local Design Studio at Illinois Tech paves the way for researchers—including assistants, coordinators, managers and principal investigators (PIs)—to come together, discuss successes and share solutions to challenges in recruitment and retention of study participants. The Trial Recruitment Innovation Office (TRIO) uses human-centered design principles to create new ways for researchers to work together on approaches that engage a wide range of people to participate in studies.
