Sign up for RecruitMe to become a citizen scientist! RecruitMe is a tool connecting those who want to participate in clinical trials or research studies to the researchers that are conducting them. To begin using RecruitMe all you have to do is search for a medical condition or research field that interests you and then answer a few eligibility questions. If you qualify, the researcher will get back to you.
