MyChart for Research Recruitment allows investigators to notify patients directly about research opportunities. By working with the Center for Clinical and Translational Science’s Recruitment Office and Research Informatics Services, researchers are able to design a search for potential volunteers that can be identified from the electronic health record information repository.

The identified patients’ medical record number will be sent to an honest broker who will send a message containing a study description to patients via the patient portal. The patient may communicate directly with the study team through in-basket messaging.
