Connecting Study Volunteers and Researchers

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.

  1. Search for Research Studies Seeking Volunteers
  2. Visit ResearchMatch.org - The CCTS is proud to participate in the first national, disease neutral, volunteer registry, that will connect individuals who wish to participate in research with eligible researchers in your community or nationwide. ResearchMatch creates a free network to easily, conveniently, and securely connect interested volunteers with researchers locally, regionally and nationally.
