Why is ResearchMatch Needed?

Make Discoveries Happen — Sooner

Many studies have to end early because there are not enough volunteers. At the same time, people are looking for research studies to join, but may have a hard time finding them. As a result, key questions that may affect a community’s health go unanswered.
