Join our Volunteer Registry

If you would like to participate in health research but do not see a clinical trial or study listed that currently interests you, the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) Volunteer Registry can help. The URMC Volunteer Registry is an easy, convenient way to find out about new studies that may be a good match for you. Anyone can sign up for this free service and it only takes a few minutes!

To get started all you have to do is provide your name and contact information in the boxes below. Then let us know about the types of studies that appeal to you most. Examples might include high blood pressure, cancer, menopause, or even being a healthy volunteer. This will allow us to send you a more customized list of studies. Fast, easy, and convenient – try the URMC Volunteer Registry! If you are a patient of UR Medicine or its affiliates, your willingness to be contacted for future research will be marked in your electronic health record.

I agree to have my name included in a registry of individuals interested in being contacted about future research studies. I understand that I may be contacted in the future by phone or email or mail about taking part in a University of Rochester Medical Center approved research study and that if contacted I can decide at that time whether I want to participate in the research study. I understand that being included in the registry does not require that I participate in the research study. If I am a patient of URMedicine or its affiliates, I understand that a field will be marked in my electronic health record indicating that I am willing to be contacted for research. I understand that the Department of Public Health Sciences will store the information I provide and that it will only be shared with individuals who have approved research studies. My contact information can be removed at any time by calling the Research Help Desk by phone at 585-275-2107 or by email at healthresearch@urmc.rochester.edu.

If you have any additional questions now or in the future you can talk with Carrie Dykes at 585-275-2107 about any questions, concerns or complaints you have.
