Volunteers

Researchers need your help! Consider joining ResearchMatch.org today!

Why should you consider joining?

Research affects our everyday lives – ranging from the medicine we take to the health of our families.  Becoming a research participant is a gift you give of yourself to benefit your family, your community, and the health of people everywhere. Research needs healthy volunteers as well as those with medical conditions.  All too often important research studies end early because there are too few research participants in the study. At the same time, people are looking for research studies but are having a difficult time finding them. As a result, important questions that can affect the health of our community go unanswered. ResearchMatch helps this problem by connecting people who want to participate in studies get connected with the research studies that may be a good ‘match’ for them through its secure, online matching tool.

Who can join?

There is no cost to register as a ResearchMatch volunteer and all ages and backgrounds are welcome to register.  A parent, legal guardian or caretaker may register someone under the age of 18 or an adult that may not be able to enter in their own information.   Many studies are looking for healthy people of all ages, while some are looking for people with specific health conditions. When you become a ResearchMatch volunteer, you join a pool of thousands of other people across the country that are willing to hear about research studies that might be a good fit for them. 

How do I join?

Go to www.researchmatch.org.  It takes between 5-10 minutes to register and anyone residing in the United States can join.  You will first answer some basic information about who you are and then have the option of entering in some information about your health.
