Interested in participating in other research?
A nonprofit program funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). It helps to connect people interested in research studies with researchers from top centers across the U.S. You can sign up online and then researchers from across the country (including the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign!) can invite you to learn about their studies. Signing up for ResearchMatch does not mean you have to participate in research, it is a way for you to learn more about potentially participating in research.
This is a government database of all clinical trials occurring in the US. You can look for trials focused on specific diseases or conditions or you can search by location.
