The STARR Coalition (Supporting Trust, Access, Research, and Reform) was born out of early conversations from clinical research leaders and advocates on how to find new, progressive ways to truly place the volunteer subject at the heart of the process. How can we help support successful clinical trials while ensuring that the individuals participating in the trials receive the care and services they desire? How can we ensure research is a part of the continuum of options for everyone seeking help?

The STARR Coalition is a nonprofit, 501c3, privately funded for the first 5 years by the Board Chair, Carol Witham. The STARR is a true independent voice and works to advance mental health clinical research as an accessible and trusted option for care, through community engagement, stigma reduction, and stakeholder collaboration.
