Subject Recruitment

NIH and good scientific practice require inclusion of women and minorities in all clinical research studies, unless there is a compelling reason to restrict a study to a single population. NIH has published several documents discussing this policy and related legislation. The following directory lists resources to aid investigators in recruiting volunteers from diverse populations in the Greater Seattle area.

All ads must be approved by your IRB in advance.
( UW IRB, Children's IRB)

Please note: inclusion in the following list does not indicate an endorsement by the GCRC, the UW or Children's.
