Crispin Goytia-Vasquez serves as the program manager for the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai’s Clinical Translational Science Award community core and the Centers for Community and Academic Research Partnerships. She is also the first patient/caregiver principal investigator for the INSIGHT network (formerly the NYC Clinical Data Research Network). She has nearly 20 years of experience in stakeholder-engaged and clinical research projects and programs. Most of her research has focused on stakeholder-engaged and community-based participatory research with diverse populations.
