Research Volunteers Change the Future of Health…One Discovery at a Time
The health of millions has been improved because of those who have volunteered their time to take part in research studies.
There are many ways to become one of those very important volunteers. ResearchMatch and StudySearch are just two of the tools at The Ohio State University that will help you get involved. One may also call 614-293-HERO to find ways to get involved as a study participant.
Research touches everyone.
All current standard medications and treatments were at one time part of testing with study volunteers.
Study volunteers make a profound gift to science. Remember that healthy volunteers and those with certain medical conditions are important to research, so don't hesitate to get involved!
Connecting Volunteers and Researchers

ResearchMatch
ResearchMatch is secure volunteer registry funded by the National Institutes of Health. By registering as a potential volunteer on ResearchMatch, approved researchers may search for volunteers who may fit the criteria and contact them to invite them to learn more about their studies.
