ResearchMatch volunteers are registered individuals who are interested in being contacted about research studies that might be a good match for them. Volunteers reside in the US and are of all ages and backgrounds.
After registering and obtaining “recruitment access”, you can search for de-identified volunteers that match your study’s criteria. Next, you will send your IRB-approved contact message to these volunteers through ResearchMatch. If volunteers are interested in learning more, they will release their contact information to you to connect directly with them. Learn more about how ResearchMatch works visiting the FAQ page.
