Studies you may be able to join near Alexandria

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.

Frequently asked questions

How much do paid clinical trials in Alexandria pay?
Compensation varies by study length, procedures and overnight stays. Industry surveys report typical payments from $75 to $4,500 per completed study, with simple observational studies at the low end and multi-week inpatient Phase 1 studies at the high end. Each listing's study team will confirm the exact amount before you enroll.
Do I need to be sick to join a clinical trial in Alexandria?
No. Many studies recruit healthy volunteers, especially early-phase studies run at dedicated research centers. Others need participants diagnosed with a specific condition. Every trial lists its eligibility criteria — age range, condition, medications — and the study team screens you before enrollment.
Are clinical trials in Alexandria 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.
What is the difference between a research center and a hospital study in Alexandria?
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.
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 Alexandria typically complete one or two studies per year.
