The Consortium for Helping Improve Research Participation (CHIRP) is building a national network of researchers, organizations, and individuals committed to improving inclusive research participation.

You can get involved in several ways:

For researchers

• Partner with CHIRP to strengthen recruitment strategies
• Connect with trusted community networks
• Improve data quality through relationship-based engagement

For disability organizations

• Co-design studies with research teams
• Share resources and opportunities with your members

For individuals with physical disabilities
