Clinical Trials

ClinicalTrials.gov

Interested in joining a clinical trial but not sure where to start? ClinicalTrials, a service of NIH, allows you to search for studies by condition or disease, location, study phase, and more.

The database currently lists 249,566 studies with locations in all 50 states and in 201 countries. Of those, more than 40,000 studies are recruiting volunteers.

The listing of a study on ClinicalTrials.gov does not reflect endorsement by NIH. So make sure to talk with a trusted health care professional before volunteering for a study.

To see if a study is NIH-supported, make sure to select “NIH” under the “Funder Type” drop-down menu.
