Clinical Research Opportunities

Clinical Research Opportunities
Importance of Clinical Research Studies:
Clinical Research studies are important for discovering new treatments for diseases, as well as new ways to detect, diagnose, and reduce the chance of developing the disease. Clinical Research studies can show researchers what does and doesn’t work in humans that cannot be learned in the laboratory or in animals. Ultimately, the goal is to increase medical knowledge and improve patient care.
Get involved with Clinical Research studies today:
Groundbreaking scientific advances in the past were only possible because of the participation of clinical research volunteers and their integral role. People with a particular disease as well as healthy people both can play a role in contributing to medical advances. Without volunteers, clinical research studies simply would not be possible.
There are different types of clinical research that can be conducted, depending on what a team of researchers is studying, the type selected will vary.
Here are a few Clinical Research studies offered through SunCoast Blood Centers:

WHAT IS BIOLINKED?
BioLinked is an electronic roster of people willing to help researchers find cures and treatments by participating in paid and unpaid studies.
WHY IS SUNCOAST BLOOD CENTERS PARTNERING WITH BIOLINKED?
BioLinked is another way to save lives. You could be the link between a patient and a life-saving cure! There are clinical trials occurring all over the United States. These studies could provide cures or treatments for diseases that affect people all over the world. This progress is often delayed many years because scientists cannot locate people to participate in their research. By helping researchers locate willing participants, we are doing our part in bringing new hope to patients as soon as possible.
CAN YOU GET PAID TO PARTICIPATE?
Yes! BioLinked offers paid and unpaid studies that you can participate in.

Avillion Batura Asthma Study

Have asthma? You may be eligible for a paid, at-home study. Contribute to medical knowledge, make a difference for people with asthma, and get paid – all from home.
Imagine an asthma treatment that relieves symptoms and helps prevent the worsening of asthma symptoms over time. Our research partner is seeking volunteers for a paid, at-home research study that seeks to improve the way we treat this chronic condition. Though asthma management has come a long way, the frequency of emergency department visits due to asthma has remained relatively unchanged in the last 15 years. Researchers are working to change that, and your participation in this study could help. Plus, you could receive up to $300 compensation for your effort. |
