Reading a public study listing, step by step

1. 1

   Start with a category

   Pick the type of research you are curious about, such as behavioral or observational studies.

2. 2

   Check the recruitment status

   Focus on records marked recruiting or not yet recruiting if you want to volunteer.

3. 3

   Read the purpose and eligibility fields

   These describe who the study team is looking for. Only the study team decides who can join.

4. 4

   Look at locations

   Confirm whether the study has a site near you or offers remote participation.

5. 5

   Contact the study team directly

   Each public record lists its own contact. Ask your questions and talk with your own health provider before deciding.

Any study programs or research organizations referenced on Public Study Radar are independent organizations operating under their own protocols and eligibility criteria. Public Study Radar does not control, supervise, guarantee, or take responsibility for the protocols, eligibility criteria, safety monitoring, outcomes, or conduct of any independent clinical study. Review the materials provided by the independent organization and talk with your own licensed health provider before deciding to take part.
