Institutions Frequently Asked Questions

ResearchMatch aims to serve as an effective, useful and complementary recruitment tool that will help connect willing volunteers with researchers who are searching for appropriate volunteers to be placed in their clinical and other health related research studies.

No, ResearchMatch allows any IRB-approved clinical or translational research studies that have health-related outcomes and are looking for participants to participate in their study.

ResearchMatch is a nonprofit activity and is free for any participating site & their researchers.

Currently, invitations to participate in ResearchMatch are limited to only those sites that are nonprofit. If you are from a not-for-profit site that is not featured in the ResearchMatch Network, please email us at info@researchmatch.org. Eligible sites that wish to participate must sign the ResearchMatch Master Institutional Registry Agreement (MIRA) and assign an Institutional Liaison to serve as the liaison between ResearchMatch and your site.
