Why Volunteer

As a volunteer in a clinical trial, you help in the development of new medical therapies that may offer better treatments and even cures for life threatening and chronic diseases.  All clinical research is regulated by the federal government and also reviewed by independent ethics committees in order to ensure patient safety.  When you participate in a clinical trial, you receive quality medical care at no charge from local physicians and medical professionals. For most studies, you are also paid for your time and travel. 

For additional information, view our Frequently Asked Questions, which provide answers to common questions about participating in a clinical trial. Also, see Volunteer Feedback to read comments from our research volunteers.
