How to Find a Study that is Recruiting Volunteers

You can find a study that is recruiting volunteers by navigating to the 'Find Studies' link under Volunteers.

There are four ways to search our database of recruiting clinical studies:

• Search By Condition

Search By Condition

• The resulting list will be grouped by Condition. Click on the '+' next to the condition name to display the list of studies that contain the keyword or match the chosen categories.
• Click on the link of the Condition in which you are interested. This will bring you to a list of all active recruiting studies for this condition.
• Click on a study's IRB Number. This will bring you to the study details - including, but not limited to, location, compensation, exclusion and inclusion criteria, description, and contact information.

• Need help choosing a keyword? Click on the link 'Suggest a Keyword?'. This link will pop up a window displaying suggested keywords. Upon selecting a keyword from this box, it will be automatically populated into the keyword search text box. Click on the 'Search' link.
• Search by Categories: Another option is to choose from the displayed categories to narrow your search by Principal Investigator, race, ethnicity, location, condition, gender, health, medications, smoking and/or age. You can narrow your search using one or more of these criteria together. The more categories you use, the more narrow or specific the search will become. (yielding a smaller, but more specific list)
