For members of the research community and potential research study volunteers, the CCTS website will help to explain how The Ohio State University and Nationwide Children’s Hospital can make easier connections between research investigators and potential research study participants.

Although there is no shortage of ongoing research studies, potential volunteers sometimes find it difficult to know where to begin to locate an appropriate study. Likewise, researchers also struggle connecting with eligible potential study volunteers. The CCTS provides resources to potential study volunteers and members of the research community so that more connections are made in order to further advance medical discoveries and enhance the health of our nation.
