NYU Grossman School of Medicine’s Office of Science and Research is committed to making it easier for investigators to conduct clinical research in compliance with institutional, state, and federal regulations. Staff members in our Clinical Research Operations team support investigators in initiating, conducting, and managing studies by providing guidance in several crucial areas, including financial processes, grants and contracting, and submitting to an institutional review board (IRB). Find more resources, templates, and trainings at the Clinical Research Knowledge Center (Kerberos ID and password required).

Recruiting Participants

There are several ways an investigator can recruit participants for a clinical trial or research study. ResearchMatch allows researchers to conduct either a feasibility search, in which you can view aggregate data in order to generate a hypothesis or explore recruitment potential for a study, or recruit volunteers for an IRB-approved study. You can also use the registry to search profiles of potential volunteers.

Any member of NYU Langone can sign up for ResearchMatch. To register as a researcher, create an account and select “New York University” as your institutional affiliation.

For any questions about using ResearchMatch to recruit study participants, please email nyuresearchmatch@nyulangone.org.

To help you recruit participants for a clinical trial or research study, we’ve created recruitment templates that you can download.

ClinicalTrials.gov

ClinicalTrials.gov is a publicly accessible clinical studies registry and results database, maintained by the National Library of Medicine at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Public registration of clinical trials—and in some cases, the submission of results—is required by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Investigators may also choose to voluntarily register and report results for other studies. 

At NYU Langone Health, the Regulatory Affairs & Business Operations (RABO) team centrally manages all ClinicalTrials.gov-related activities for study teams, including registration, maintenance, and results submission. For assistance or inquiries, please contact CT.Gov@NYULangone.org.
