The many reasons people volunteer in clinical research:
Access to new care options
Clinical trials give patients early access to cutting-edge innovations, giving you additional options to consider.
Personalized experience from your trusted care team
Throughout the trial, you’ll have the support of a team dedicated to your research journey as well as your overall health and wellbeing.
Lower healthcare costs – even if you’re uninsured
Clinical trials are often offered at no cost for patients, and you may even be compensated for your time and travel expenses.
The opportunity to make an impact
Research takes years. By participating in a clinical trial, you’ll make a lasting difference for generations to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Clinical research is how we get new therapies, devices and medications to the general public. Clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of the medicines and devices created by biopharmaceutical companies. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves all medicines and devices before they become available to consumers.
-
Clinical research can benefit you in the near-term, as well as help others in the future. By participating in clinical trials, you receive highly attentive care, including diagnostic assessments that may not otherwise be available. Your cost of care can be offset, and your treatment could potentially lead to improved health outcomes.
Results from clinical trials help determine if a medicine or medical device is ready to go to market, or if it needs more testing. As a patient, you have an opportunity to contribute to medical advancements simply by participating in clinical research.

Each clinical trial has different eligibility requirements relevant to the scope and purpose of the trial. Patients of all ages, racial and ethnic groups are needed for clinical trials. Diversity of participants is important to ensure the results can be applied to our diverse population.
