Volunteers needed for research studies

Both healthy individuals and those with medical conditions are needed to participate in a variety of Children's Research Institute studies. Participation is strictly voluntary; the choice is yours.

Research plays a role in the development of new medications and treatments for injuries and illnesses and new technology that leads to better, faster and more accurate diagnosis; validates the effectiveness of social service and prevention programs; and improves processes and ensures quality in the delivery of health care.

Before volunteering, know what you're getting into. Ask questions, learn as much as you can and know the pros and cons. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers a free brochure for individuals considering becoming a research volunteer. Download it here.
