About Us
Sacred Ground Research (SGR) aims to bridge the gap between minorities and clinical research. We specialize in the inclusion of diverse patient populations within clinical research. Our team strives to ensure our defined study populations are an accurate representation of the disease state that is being studied. SGR has the ability to help researchers achieve and surpass their Clinical Trial Diversity Plan goals.
SGR was founded by two doctors who were unsatisfied with the current state of healthcare. One founder lost both of her parents and grandfather prematurely from complications due to cancer. As a result of these losses, she became determined to become a game changer in the medical field. Each founder made a vow to make a difference that would not only make a global impact, but also a direct impact to the community they serve.
The founders envisioned a world-class, clinical research organization that would aid companies in bringing forth safe and novel therapies derived from diverse patient populations. Forming collaborations with biopharmaceutical companies, government entities, universities, and academic medical centers, SGR prides itself on building collaborative relationships, facilitating change in poverty-stricken areas, and delivering on commitments.
Our Story
SGR was founded by two passionate physicians who experienced firsthand the consequences of inequity in healthcare. One of our founders lost both parents and a grandparent to cancer—experiences that sparked a deeper mission to change how care is researched and delivered.
From day one, our goal has been simple: make an impact where it matters most—at the community level and beyond. We envisioned a research organization that brings cutting-edge science to underserved communities, partnering with institutions to accelerate access to safe, effective treatments.
