How to enroll in a paid study in Minneapolis

Start with a study whose condition matches your profile — or a healthy-volunteer study if you have no diagnosis. Contact the research site through the registry page, complete a short phone screen, then attend an in-person screening visit. If you qualify, the study team walks you through the informed consent document, which details every procedure, risk and payment before you commit. You can withdraw at any point, and enrollment is always free.

Minneapolis participants can also register with the dedicated research centers listed above — many maintain volunteer databases and call when a matching study opens — or sign up for our email alert below to hear when a new study starts recruiting within 30 miles of your ZIP code.

Frequently asked questions

Are clinical trials in Minneapolis safe?
Every trial on this page is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov, the official NIH registry, and is overseen by an Institutional Review Board (IRB). Before joining you receive an informed consent document detailing procedures, risks and compensation. Participation is voluntary and you can withdraw at any time.
How do I join a study in Minneapolis, MN?
Pick a study that matches your profile, contact the research site (or apply through the study links on this page), pass a phone pre-screen, then attend an in-person screening visit. If you qualify, you review and sign the informed consent and the study begins. The process typically takes 1-3 weeks.
What is the difference between a research center and a hospital study in Minneapolis?
Dedicated research centers (listed on this page with their Google ratings) run studies as their core business — often healthy-volunteer and vaccine studies with structured compensation. Hospital and university studies tend to focus on patients with specific conditions. Both types are registered and IRB-supervised.
How often do new paid studies open in Minneapolis?
Constantly — trials open and close enrollment every week. This page is refreshed weekly from the NIH registry. Join the email alert to be notified when a new study opens within 30 miles of Minneapolis.
Can I be in more than one clinical trial at a time?
Generally no — most studies exclude participants currently enrolled in another trial, and paid Phase 1 studies enforce a washout period (often 30 days or more) between studies. Frequent healthy volunteers in Minneapolis typically complete one or two studies per year.
