One of the biggest challenges researchers face is finding participants for their studies. ResearchMatch, an online recruitment registry supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), was created to bridge this gap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UNMC is now a proud partner of ResearchMatch, giving campus researchers access to the recruitment tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What is ResearchMatch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ResearchMatch is a secure, online platform that connects people who want to participate in research studies with researchers looking for participants. It is open to anyone in the United States, regardless of age, race, ethnicity or health status. There are over 120,000 volunteers nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why participate?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Contribute to science<\/strong>: Help advance research that could lead to medical breakthroughs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Learn about health<\/strong>: Gain insights into health conditions and potential treatments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Flexible involvement<\/strong>: Choose studies that fit your interests and schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does it work?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Register<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchmatch.org\/?rm=unmctoday\">Sign up on ResearchMatch<\/a> and create a free profile in 5-10 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get matched<\/strong>: Researchers searching for participants will send you a message if your profile fits their study criteria.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose to participate<\/strong>: You decide if you want to learn more.
