ResearchMatch brings together people who are trying to find research studies and clinical trials, and researchers who are looking for volunteers.
Research needs volunteers in order to make a difference. All too often important research studies end early because there are too few volunteers or patients miss out on the care they need because they cannot connect with the right study for them. As a result, important questions that can affect the health of our community go unanswered and treatment options remain limited. ResearchMatch helps solve both of these problems by connecting people who want to participate in studies to get connected with the research studies that may be a good ‘match’ for them. ResearchMatch is a free and secure program that has been developed by major academic institutions across the country who want to involve YOU in the mission to improve the future of healthcare.
Medical discoveries are not possible without volunteers like you. Research positively impacts the lives of people every day, but research needs YOU. Too many studies end early because there aren't enough volunteers. We help, by matching you with researchers. Researchers need people with all types of conditions, and healthy people too. Everyone can be the perfect research match!
Ready to make a difference? Joining ResearchMatch is FREE and takes only a few minutes. You can begin creating your ResearchMatch Volunteer profile by clicking 'Get Started Here' on our homepage at www.researchmatch.org and following these four simple steps:
1) Fill out a few basic questions about yourself or the person you wish to register
2) Create your unique username and password that only you will know.
