All IN for Health iConnect
- Connecting with research participants
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.
