Through these research studies, University Endocrinologists are able to offer individuals with diabetes the advantage of the latest investigational and new pharmacologic treatments, state-of-the-art medical procedures and testing, and close, specialized medical attention. In addition, these services are often provided free to study volunteers. The conduct of research trials can also provide you with more information and a better understanding of your medical condition.

Being a Volunteer

Find a Study: Diabetes Clinical Trials

Volunteering to participate in a clinical research study is one of the best ways you can contribute to the understanding of diseases that affect people and the development of new therapies. As a volunteer, you are the most critical link in a long chain of research and testing in the development of new medications.

Clinical Research Trial

Each year, thousands of people volunteer to participate in clinical drug studies. Benefits as a volunteer may include:
