Research can make a difference in your life and in the lives of your family, friends, and neighbors.

Welcome!

The Research Participant Registry connects community members and UPMC patients with researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC. Signing up for the Registry:

allows the Registry Office staff to send you information about research studies that might interest you
gives you a chance to learn more about research studies and decide if you want to join
connects you with an office to answer your questions

How can I participate?

Any community member age 18 or older can join. Healthy volunteers and individuals with medical conditions are needed. There are two ways to join the Registry: online or at your doctor’s office. Extensive measures are in place to protect the privacy of your medical and personal information.

Online Registration

The online registration process takes just a few minutes to complete. You will be asked to provide information including your name and mailing address, and identify health topics of your choice. The Registry Office will use this information to notify you of current research studies.
