Studies you may be able to join near Ocala

These studies are recruiting through partner research networks. We may be paid a referral fee if you complete their screening form — this never changes what you pay (nothing) or the compensation the study offers you.

See which clinical studies you may qualify for

A partner research network matches volunteers with studies that are currently enrolling in the United States. You answer a few screening questions about your health and where you live; if a study looks like a fit, its team contacts you to confirm eligibility.

Screening is free and takes a few minutes. Eligibility and any compensation are confirmed by the study team, not by this site.
