Community Participation
Participate in Research
Research volunteers change the future of health care…one discovery at a time. Volunteers of all ages, both healthy and those with specific medical conditions, are essential to the progress of research and better health care.
THREE easy ways to find active research studies:
 |
ResearchMatch - Become a research volunteer. ResearchMatch is a secure, easy to use, volunteer registry funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Researchers can invite volunteers to participate in their study that may be a good fit; however, names and contact information are not released until a volunteer indicates they would like to know more about the study and agrees to release their information to the researcher. Join ResearchMatch today. Children under 19 must be enrolled by a parent or guardian. |
 |
StudySearch - Find a research study. StudySearch is a search tool that lists research studies and clinical trials at The Ohio State University that are actively seeking participants. |
 |
614-293-HERO (4376) – Call with your questions. The HERO Line is a service dedicated to assisting the general public with their search for a research study. |
 |
Study Notes blog - Learn what it's like to participate. Study Notes is a blog written by scientists, research study coordinators, and experienced research study volunteers that is designed to provide a look inside what it’s like to participate in a clinical research study. |
