The Volunteer Database is a listing of people in the Galveston area who are willing to consider being volunteers for clinical research studies. Each study is different, and you will be provided with detailed information about a particular study before you are asked to participate. In order to improve medical understanding and treatments, people of all races, ages, and of both sexes, are needed for clinical research.
Some studies provide reimbursement of transportation or small fees for participation.
If your profile matches the needs of one of our researchers, the investigator will contact you and explain in detail what would be required in order to volunteer. To be listed in the Volunteer Database, Complete the Information Form and a consent form, allowing us to share the contents of the Information Form with qualified researchers who are seeking volunteers with your characteristics. Examples are shown here, but to be enrolled in the Volunteer Database, you must complete the actual forms we will send you. Volunteer names and identifying information are provided only for GCRC-approved protocols or by special approval of the Director. Your study MUST have IRB approval before any volunteer information can be released.
