The process
How it works.
OpenRoad Studies is a discovery and education resource. Here is exactly what happens at each stage, and what stays entirely in your hands.
Discover what is out there
Read plain-language guides that explain what a study listing means, what volunteers are typically asked to do, and which categories exist.
Tell us what interests you
Share your name and the study categories you want to hear about. No health details are collected and no screening happens here.
Get a courtesy introduction
If an independent program matches your stated interest, we ask you first, then make an introduction so you can review their materials directly.
Decide for yourself
You review the independent program's own protocol and eligibility criteria and talk with your own licensed healthcare provider before choosing anything.
What we never do
- We do not enroll, screen, or qualify anyone for any study.
- We do not give medical advice or assess your health.
- We do not sell, share, or transfer your details to research organizations, study sponsors, drug development companies, or third-party marketers.
- We do not guarantee study availability or acceptance.
Common questions
- Does signing up enroll me in a study?
- No. We do not enroll, screen, or qualify anyone. Enrollment decisions belong entirely to independent research programs.
- Do I have to give a phone number?
- No. The phone field is always optional, and text updates are only sent if you check the box asking for them.
- Is my information sold?
- No. Your details are never sold, shared, or transferred to research organizations or third-party marketers. A courtesy introduction only happens after you separately agree to it.
- Are study opportunities guaranteed?
- No. Availability changes constantly and acceptance is never guaranteed by us or by any independent program.
Any trial programs or research organizations that users may be introduced to through OpenRoad Studies's coordination service are independent organizations operating under their own protocols and eligibility criteria. OpenRoad Studies does not control, supervise, guarantee, or take responsibility for the protocols, eligibility criteria, safety monitoring, outcomes, or conduct of any independent clinical trial program. Users are encouraged to review all materials provided by any research organization and consult their own licensed healthcare provider before deciding to participate.
