How to Join a Study

You can't sign up for a study from BMU CTR, but you can find the information you need to contact the study. If you need help, contact your health care provider.

  1. Find a study. (see How to Search for Clinical Studies)

    Search using the filters on the home page of BMU CTR.

    Tips:

    • Search for a study about a disease or health condition using the Condition/disease filter. Enter and search for one condition at a time.
    • In the Location filter, enter a facility, city, district or country to search for clinical studies with a location near where you live.
    • Under the More filters menu, find the Eligibility (participation criteria) filters and search for studies that match your age and sex.

    To find studies looking for participants, go to Study Status and select "Recruiting and not yet recruiting studies."

  2. Review the list of studies you found on the Search Results page and select the ones that interest you. (see How to Use Search Results)

    Once you've done a search, scroll through the list of studies. You can add or remove filters if your list is too long or too short.

  3. Open the study record and review the study details. (see How to Read a Study Record)

    Check the Eligibility section to see if you might be a match for the study based on your age, sex, and health condition. You can ask your health care provider about the participation criteria and other study details to make sure the study is right for you.

    Look in the Sponsor & contacts and Locations sections to:

    • See if there is a study location that works for you
    • See if there is a central contact or contact at a specific location

    Once a study has completed adding new participants, contact information will no longer appear in the study record.

  4. Call or email the central contact or the contact at a specific location to learn more about the study and options for joining.

    Sometimes, the information on a study record is not up to date. If you don't hear back from the study contact, you can try again; or the study may be completed, and the information has not yet been updated on BMU CTR. If you still need help, you can ask your health care provider.

    Note that BMU CTR is not responsible for the information on the study record, where studies are done, or what research is being conducted.
