Join a research register

Join ResearchMatch, the US research volunteer register

Register as a volunteer with ResearchMatch, a free research volunteer register led by Vanderbilt University Medical Center and funded by the National Institutes of Health. Researchers use ResearchMatch to find potential volunteers, but we cannot promise that a tinnitus study will contact you. Authorised researchers search the register and decide whom to contact about their studies. You register entirely on their own site.

Important to know. Registering is not joining a study, and it creates no obligation to take part in anything. Contact about a tinnitus study is not guaranteed. Researchers and study teams make every contact and eligibility decision. ResearchMatch is open to people in the United States, including Puerto Rico. Tinnitus Action is not affiliated with ResearchMatch and never sees any of the information you enter there.

About this opportunity
A standing register lets research teams contact people who have said they are willing to be asked about studies.
What you do
Add yourself to a research register.
Where it happens
On the official ResearchMatch volunteer registration's own website. It opens in a new tab.
When it counts
When you have submitted your registration. Whether a study contacts you later is up to them.
How this was verified

Publicly invited by the organisation on its own page

The organisation publicly invites this. We link to their own page; we are not a partner and speak only for ourselves.

This is a general register that studies can later draw on. Registering is not the same as joining a study, and no study is guaranteed to contact you.

This action pauses if ResearchMatch closes volunteer registration or stops accepting new volunteers.
