Researchers may want to use this useful and free online tool to find and contact willing clinical research participants from an opt-in national registry.
To gain access to ResearchMatch.org for recruitment (Recruitment Access):
Feasibility access allows you to view aggregate data regarding the ResearchMatch population starting the day you complete the sign up process. You may register for ResearchMatch feasibility access on Step 3 of the registration process. Please Note: You may only use ResearchMatch feasibility access for general feasibility assessment (i.e. “how many potential subjects are out there”) and not for any kind of research activity without IRB approval. Remember to include your institutional email address when registering (e.g.: jane.doe@mssm.edu or jane.doe@mountsinai.org). Once you have registered for feasibility access, you will be able to add a study for recruitment access as a registered ResearchMatch researcher at any time. Recruitment access lets you actually contact potential participants through ResearchMatch’s secure system. ***Please use the IRB Number (HSM), without the period, dashes, or other non-alphanumeric characters, to register your study with ResearchMatch.org. For example, if you use the Mount Sinai PPHS, it should look like 0000000. Contact your liaison, if you have any questions about how this number should be formatted.*** Before you can utilize recruitment access, the IRB must approve the use of ResearchMatch as one of your recruitment methods.
