Volunteering for Clinical Research Helps You and Others
You can help our sponsors and physicians get new effective treatments to people who need them for their medical conditions. Every new treatment must pass clinical research trials that depend on volunteers like you.
Benefits of Volunteering for clinical research studies
- Compensation – Every study is different but most studies pay participants a stipend to cover time and travel.
- Information about your condition — Knowledge of your condition will help you manage your health.
- Free care for your condition – Rising health care costs have made insurance unaffordable for many. Clinical research trial participants receive physician visits and possibly access to the latest advances in the care and treatment without insurance company involvement. No co-pays or deductibles!
- The opportunity to help others – Medical advances benefit everyone. Participation in research studies give patients the chance to make a contribution to improving health care for millions.
- Access to new treatments — You may get the opportunity to try a new treatment for your condition (not guaranteed)
