Being listed in the registry does not obligate people to participate in research. Volunteers may choose not to participate in any research study they are contacted about, Dr. Rizzo said.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that people will not be compensated for participating in the research registry, but they potentially could be compensated for their participation in studies that they were recruited for through this registry.<\/p>\n<p>The research registry is open to men and women between the age of 19 and 99.<\/p>\n<p>People interested in participating will be asked to complete a questionnaire about who they are and their health. Their responses will allow the Mind &amp; Brain Health Labs to determine which studies they may be eligible for in the future. Information collected about individuals also may be used for future, unspecified research.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact the Mind &amp; Brain Health Labs at (402) 559-6870 or <a href=\"mailto:mbhl@unmc.edu\">mbhl@unmc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This registry is listed under IRB #398-15-EP.<\/p>\n<p><em>We are <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nebraskamed.com\/\">Nebraska Medicine<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/\">UNMC<\/a>.
