Recruitment Center

A top reason for health research study termination is failure to recruit participants.

The CTSI Recruitment Center optimizes recruitment and retention of study participants through consultations and services. You can contact us for a no-cost consultation at any point in your study, even before submitting for IRB approval. Our services include, but are not limited to, assistance with:

  • drafting a recruitment plan
  • creating materials such as advertisements and phone scripts
  • accessing participants
  • recruiting through social media
