The University of Alabama at Birmingham is committed to providing the highest quality medical care to its patients. To accomplish this goal, it is sometimes necessary to conduct research studies to try to improve existing medical treatments. This might involve the testing of new drugs or procedures. As a patient at UAB, you may be asked to participate in such studies.

ResearchMatch.orgUAB is participating in ResearchMatch.org, the first national online, volunteer-recruitment registry developed to improve the way biomedical research is conducted across the country. This easy-to-use tool can help match researchers and people who want or need to volunteer for clinical trials. Volunteers are notified electronically that they are a possible match, and then they may decide whether or not to release their contact information to member researchers.
