AI Summary

This bill, the Diversifying Investigations Via Equitable Research Studies for Everyone Trials Act (DIVERSE Trials Act), aims to improve diversity in clinical trials and data collection for COVID-19 and future public health threats. Key provisions include: (1) requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue guidance on conducting decentralized clinical trials with demographic diversity; (2) allowing drug and device manufacturers to provide digital health technologies to clinical trial participants without violating certain laws; (3) authorizing grants and contracts to support community education, outreach, and recruitment activities for clinical trials, especially for underrepresented populations; (4) enhancing COVID-19 data collection to address demographic data gaps and social determinants of health; and (5) clarifying that certain remuneration related to patient participation in approved clinical trials does not constitute unlawful remuneration. The bill also requires the National Academy of Medicine to study and propose a design for a national interoperable data platform to improve access to health data during public health emergencies.
