All IN for Health iConnect

Meeting research recruitment targets can be a challenge, but we have made it easier to engage with potential volunteers through our volunteer network engagement and referral platform. This resource is complimentary to all Indiana CTSI investigators (IU, IU Health, Eskenazi Health, Purdue University, Regenstrief Institute and the University of Notre Dame).

Currently, the registry is comprised of over 14,000 interested volunteers who have indicated their willingness to be contacted (and participate) in research.

All IU studies recruiting volunteers into health-related research are automatically listed in the registry. Other research partners must contact us directly to list their studies on the All IN for Health website.

The All IN for Health iConnect platform is supported by TrialX and managed by the IU School of Medicine and the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute.

Study Recruitment

iConnect enables researchers to:

- - Create participant-friendly study pages
  - Receive referrals from potential eligible, interested volunteers that can be tracked within the system
  - Utilize in-depth pre-screening questionnaires to vet potential volunteers
  - Setup and manage recruitment campaigns for a variety of outreach tactics like flyers or online ads
  - Communicate with prospective participants
  - Measure ROI across different outreach channels using trackable phone numbers, links and emails
  - Query for matching prospective participants in the volunteer registry
