ResearchMatch is a free, online registry sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. The registry matches volunteers interested in participating in health research with researchers looking for volunteers to complete their studies. Anyone living in the United States can join as a volunteer by providing basic health information. A parent or guardian can register on behalf of children under the age of 19 or adults needing assistance. Researchers conducting studies approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) can search the database for volunteers matching their study requirements. If a match is made, ResearchMatch will email a description of the study to the volunteer. Only if the volunteer indicates interest in learning more about the study, will ResearchMatch release the volunteer’s contact information to the researcher. ResearchMatch connects volunteers with opportunities to be a part of the answer.
