Participants

Join national volunteer-recruitment registry for clinical research
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. Register online at ResearchMatch.org.

Read more about this innovative opportunity for investigators and participants at NIH News or UAB Media Relations.
