Participating in clinical trials

A clinical trial is the process by which new medications, vaccines, medical devices and procedures are studied and tested to determine whether they are safe and effective for treating or preventing diseases and health conditions. By joining a clinical trial, you help to advance new and potentially lifesaving treatments for patients who need them. 

Phone Screen

The first step to participating in a clinical research study is to contact our call center at 1-866-429-3700 . Our call center is open Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern time (7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Central time). The phone screen agents need to make sure you will pre-qualify for a study and will ask you a lot of questions about your medical history including any medicines you take. Please be honest and thorough in your answers. This is for your own safety.

In-person screening

Once you pass the phone screen you will be scheduled for a screening appointment at the clinic. It is important to follow any fasting requirements before this appointment. Bring a current, valid, government ID with you and be on time. Not showing up for an appointment could hurt your chances of getting in a study later on. Please allow 2–4 hours for this appointment.

What to expect during your stay

Most of the time participants check into the clinic the day before the study begins. This is to help you get settled and comfortable. We will assign you to a room, give you a wrist band, and go over the rules of the clinic and anything particular to your study. The clinics are very much like a hospital floor. You will share a room with at least four other people of the same sex. You will have a secure place to store your belongings. We want you to be comfortable and at ease while you are at the clinic. When you are not having procedures done, you can read, watch TV, play games, join in activities like pool and Bingo, or use your laptop or phone if you’ve brought one. Each clinic has laundry facilities as well if you will be staying with us for a while.

50+ Clinical Trials with Compensation Near You

Home / Clinical Trials / 50+ Clinical Trials with Compensation Near You

Clinical trials with compensation are a great opportunity to get involved in important medical research. A clinical trial is held to gather data on the potential of a novel treatment to address a specific illness. A clinical trial often focuses on people with a certain chronic condition or genetic risk factors.

A clinical study with compensation focuses on paying individual for participating in their trials. This helps study teams to more quickly drive interest around a trial, and also helps to ensure that clinical trial participants subsist through the entire trial. Some clinical trials with compensation also recruit healthy volunteers, those with no specific diagnosis or special medical needs. Which volunteers are needed for which study depends on the study’s goals. Nobody qualifies for every study, but through effective upfront communication with the study team most participants can quickly learn whether or not they are a good fit for an observational study or investigational treatment.

Compensation for research studies is a hot topic for both participants and organizers. Not all clinical trials with compensation fit everyone, but the right trial can help participants defray their costs and earn some money – anywhere from just $10 for a single visit to multiple thousands for longer studies.

Each clinical trial responds to diverse needs, so there’s no way of knowing precisely how much any given study will offer in compensation. With that said, there are a few basic facts you should know as you do research and decide whether participating in a trial focused on an investigational drug or treatment plan is the right fit for you.

Clinical Trials For Healthy Volunteers With Compensation

How much can volunteers make in clinical trials with compensation.

Compensation for clinical trials varies widely. It can range anywhere from below $100 to thousands of dollars for qualified participants. Compensation generally scales with the length and complexity of the trial, with individuals participating in the entire study maximizing their compensation. The shorter a clinical research study, the lower the amount of compensation offered, just as with research studies in other fields.

Can You Get Expenses Paid for in a Clinical Trial?

When you are cleared to participate in a research study, you will usually have any direct costs related to the study covered by the presiding company or organization. For example, you will not need to pay for a treatment given to you as part of a research study, and it does not matter if you have insurance.

Depending on the structure of the study, you may or may not qualify to have certain indirect expenses paid for. The most common indirect expense is travel. If you need to travel a long way from your home to a laboratory facility, you can often submit receipts for gas or other expenses for reimbursement.

When Do You Receive Clinical Trial Compensation?

Reimbursements are generally processed soon after they are received. On the other hand, if you’ve been offered a flat sum for your participation in the study, you will usually only receive it at a certain point in the study or after specific conditions are met.

These “conditions” usually relate to the length of the study. For example, a study that’s intended to run for a year might compensate volunteers every three months. This recognizes the fact that even some of the volunteers who qualify will not necessarily stay with the study for its entire duration.

Which Clinical Trials Offer the Most Study Compensation?

There’s no way of knowing exactly how much any given trial will provide in compensation until you contact the study sponsor. In order to make sure that you are a good fit for the trial, there will be a thorough screening process that makes sure you are a good fit, pass the exclusion criteria, and will complete the trial. As a general guideline, though, more complex clinical trials provide more compensation.

Many clinical trials have only a few basic requirements. As long as you meet the exclusion criteria, all you need to do is take the medical treatments as directed and occasionally get blood tests or other laboratory tests. But sometimes, researchers will need more information from you or will be in contact more frequently with the study physician or research team.

For instance, you might be asked to maintain a “clinical trial diary” that gives greater insight into how a condition responds at different times after treatment. This is an example of something the study research staff might figure into their calculations when determining compensation.

Is Compensation for Clinical Trial Participation Based on the Study’s Outcome?

In a word, no. A clinical trial will not offer its volunteers more or less money based on whether or not the research was successful, but rather fully participating in studies should aware you with the full compensation package. In fact, it might be months or even years before anyone can say with full certainty whether a study had the results the sponsor hoped for.

While you’re never responsible for the outcome of a study, your level of participation is definitely a factor. If you accidentally fail to follow instructions (on treatment dosage or timing, for example) it potentially invalidates your data, which may preclude compensation.

How Do I Find Out How Much Compensation a Trial Offers?

Most clinical trials with compensation advertise that compensation is available. However, a study sponsor might be legally limited in how much information they can publicize. Once it’s been verified that you match the required volunteer profile, you will receive written documentation of compensation and requirements. In some situations, an annual trial compensation package might be appropriate based on the types of interventions or medical treatments being tested.

Compensation for clinical trials makes it easier and more accessible to be a part of important medical research. Your decision to participate could help people all around the world that you will never meet, and help study drugs and treatment get out to market more quickly.

Are There Clinical Trials That Offer Compensation Near Me?

Most studies, especially ones that focus on healthy volunteers, have various locations and can even be ran in multiple countries. While technology is still being developed to allow participants to remotely participate in clinical trials, generally most study teams and study sponsors still require clinical trial participants to meet in-person based on the study design during the trial to check in on the progress of a treatment. Most major cities in the United States will offer some clinical trials that offer financial compensation and studies with locations near you.

Unlocking opportunities in women’s healthcare

One half of the world’s population is women. Women also account for 80 percent of consumer purchasing decisions in the healthcare industry. 1 “General facts on women and job based health,” Employee Benefits Security Administration fact sheet, US Department of Labor. Yet, remarkably, women’s health has been considered a niche market and a mere subset of healthcare. Now, that’s starting to shift, leading to better health outcomes for women and presenting new opportunities for investors, companies, employees, and other stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem. In this article, we seek to provide a practicable definition of “women’s health,” to present a brief historical background of how men’s physiology was often the default setting, and to identify value-creating opportunities for meeting women’s healthcare needs. In a related article, “ The dawn of the FemTech revolution ,” we take a deeper dive into FemTech specifically and explore the unique role that it plays.

Defining women’s health

About the authors.

This article is a collaborative, global effort by Emma Kemble, Lucy Pérez , Valentina Sartori , Gila Tolub , and Alice Zheng.

Men’s and women’s bodies are programmed differently from conception. 2 The authors acknowledge the importance of healthcare to the transgender, nonbinary, and gender-fluid communities and that not all people who identify as women are born biologically female and vice versa. The focus of this paper is on women’s health support as related to a market segment specific to a certain biological sex. We recognize the need for future research into health issues that is inclusive of the transgender, nonbinary, and gender-fluid communities. Indeed, we intend to explore these needs in much greater detail in the months and years ahead. As the Institute of Medicine recognizes, “every cell has a sex,” and sex-based differences influence all tissues, organs, and bodily functions. 3 Mary-Lou Pardue and Theresa M. Wizemann, eds., Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health: Does Sex Matter? , Washington, DC: National Academies Press, 2001. These differences affect disease prevention, diagnoses, and treatments. Because women are often caretakers, better outcomes in women’s health also have cascading benefits for groups such as children and the elderly. Women’s health, in other words, contributes in a significant way to stronger, healthier societies.

Women’s health encompasses much more than just reproduction. Our definition takes a broad approach. When we consider women’s health, we incorporate both female-specific conditions, whether tied to women’s reproduction or some other facet of women’s biology, and general health conditions that may affect women differently or disproportionately (Exhibit 1).

Conditions that pertain generally to females include, of course, reproduction: contraception, fertility, and maternal health. Female conditions also include gynecology, gynecological infections, menopause, and women’s oncology. General health conditions connected to women’s health are those that affect women differently (for example, cardiovascular disease), disproportionately (such as autoimmune disease, migraines, and osteoporosis), or are characterized by gender-based discrepancies in care (for example, pain and mental health). Women’s health also includes general health conditions for which sex differences are not precisely known or are not sufficiently studied, as is the case with Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists and physicians increasingly recognize that multiple diseases and conditions affect women differently than men and that treatments and therapies can differ in both subtle and significant ways.

Tracing the transformation

The recognition of sex-based differences is long overdue but has been accelerating rapidly in recent years.

As highlighted in recent books such as Invisible Women (Penguin Random House, March 2019), Doing Harm (HarperOne, March 2019), and Sex Matters (Hachette Book Group, June 2021), modern medicine was developed with male physiology as the default. A predisposition to the male body type has long been reflected in medical training, diagnoses, and therapeutic development, which has influenced how physicians and scientists have come to understand human physiology. As a result, men and women historically can have very different health outcomes.

Bias is complicated. For example, nausea, ingestion, and general discomfort might typically suggest heartburn. Women, however, experience these symptoms in the event of a heart attack more commonly than men do. Early research in cardiovascular disease, a top killer among both men and women, largely involved male subjects, leading to the hallmark symptoms of heart attacks being taught as pain in the left arm and chest. Women, however, owing to different underlying biology and risk factors, are reported to be more likely to experience other symptoms, which are often labeled as “atypical.” As a result, women have been found to be 50 percent more likely than men to be misdiagnosed following a heart attack and more likely than men to die from heart attacks. 4 See Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men , London: Penguin Random House, 2019, p. 218; Barbara Sadick, “Women die from heart attacks more often than men. Here’s why—and what doctors are doing about it,” Time , April 1, 2019; and Clare Arnott et al., “Sex differences in heart failure,” European Heart Journal , December 2019, Volume 40, Number 47, pp. 3859–68c.

For years, women have been underrepresented in medical trials. 5 Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men , London: Penguin Random House, 2019, p. 200–205; Yasmin Anwar, “Lack of females in drug dose trials leads to overmedicated women,” Berkeley News , August 12, 2020; drugtopics.com, accessed August 18, 2020; “Drug safety: Most drugs withdrawn in recent years had greater health risks for women,” US Government Accountability Office, January 19, 2001. In 1977, following birth defects in the wake of fetal exposure to some medications, including thalidomide, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended that “premenopausal female[s] capable of becoming pregnant” be excluded from Phase 1 and early Phase 2 clinical studies. 6 See “Gender studies in product development: Historical overview,” US Food & Drug Administration, updated February 16, 2018. Protective in intent, the recommendation—which the FDA revised in 1993—had implications in researching differences in men’s and women’s health, including fundamental metabolic and hormonal differences that affect dosing. 7 See “Timeline of FDA accomplishments in women’s health: 1993 - present,” US Food & Drug Administration, updated January 31, 2018; and Natalie A. DiPietro Mager and Katherine A. Liu, “Women’s involvement in clinical trials: Historical perspective and future implications,” Pharmacy Practice , January–March 2016, Volume 14, Number 1. Consider the case of Zolpidem, a medication primarily used for short-term treatment of sleeping problems. Decades after Zolpidem’s approval and commercialization, the recommended dose for women was halved, in order to address the drug’s slower metabolism in women.

Basing healthcare solutions on male physiology opens the door to suboptimal outcomes; among other consequences, women are twice as likely as men to experience adverse events from drugs. 8 Brian J. Prendergast and Irving Zucker, “Sex differences in pharmacokinetics predict adverse drug reactions in women,” Biology of Sex Differences , December 2020, Volume 11, Number 1. Among medical devices, male-centric designs have also often been the default. Physiologic differences in load bearing, however, can result in up to double the failure rate of implants in women, as seen with certain hip implants. 9 Katrina Hutchison, “Gender bias in medical implant design and use: A type of moral aggregation problem?,” Hypatia , Summer 2019, Volume 34, Number 3, pp. 570–91.

Women have also experienced differences in healthcare delivery. 10 Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men , London: Penguin Random House, 2019, p. 223–26. Despite reporting more severe levels, frequency, and duration of pain, reports show that women are less likely to be treated for pain; their symptoms are at times expressed as “emotional” or “psychosomatic.” 11 Caroline Criado Perez, Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men , London: Penguin Random House, 2019, p. 226. Disparities can also be found in some provider policies. One analysis of gender-specific procedures found that physician fees in Medicare led to a bias in procedure selection because fees for male procedures were higher than for female procedures, more than 80 percent of the time, and were 28 percent higher on average—even though male procedures were typically no more complex . 12 Michelle F. Benoit et al., “Comparison of 2015 Medicare relative value units for gender-specific procedures: Gynecologic and gynecologic-oncologic versus urologic CPT coding. Has time healed gender-worth?,” Gynecologic Oncology , February 2017, Volume 144, Number 2, pp. 336–42. In another example, the associated physician’s fee in Medicare for the removal of a penile lesion is currently three times as high as for the removal of a vaginal lesion. 13 Physician fee schedule from US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services; McKinsey analysis.

Emerging opportunities

The current global innovation pipeline reveals mismatches between health investments and health needs. The gap highlights some remarkable opportunities for improving women’s health within female-specific conditions (Exhibit 2).

In the aggregate, female conditions outside of oncology comprise less than 2 percent of the current healthcare pipeline, 14 McKinsey analysis of Phase 1–Phase 3 global pharmaceutical drugs in development; data sourced from Pharmaprojects as of June 2021. even as women comprise half of the world’s population. To contextualize and compare with disease burden, Hepatitis B, which afflicts twice as many men as women, has 41 times more biopharma assets relative to commensurate disability-adjusted life years. 15 Fawad Khan et al., “Hepatitis B virus infection among different sex and age groups in Pakistani Punjab,” Virology Journal , 2011, Volume 8, Article Number 225; McKinsey analysis. The disparity between allocations to healthcare in general compared with women’s health in particular is even more pronounced given that entire categories in female conditions are omitted from some health burden measures. For example, menopause and its associated symptoms are not captured in global disease burden databases , which look broadly at causes of death, diseases, injuries, and health risk factors.

There are significant opportunities for healthcare providers to consider reallocating resources to female conditions, including the following:

• Maternal health: More than 800 women die globally every day from pregnancy- and childbirth-related causes, including hemorrhages and infections. 16 See “Maternal mortality ratio,” United Nations Population Fund, accessed February 16, 2020; and Hannah Ritchie and Max Roser, “Maternal mortality,” Our World in Data, 2013. The tragedies are not confined to emerging economies; even before the outbreak of COVID-19, the maternal mortality rate in the United States doubled between 2002 and 2018, with Black women disproportionately affected. 17 Eugene Declercq and Laurie Zephyrin, “Maternal mortality in the United States: A primer,” Commonwealth Fund, December 16, 2020.
• Endometriosis: One in ten women of reproductive age is estimated to have endometriosis (growth of endometrial tissue outside of the uterus), which can cause debilitating pelvic pain and infertility. The underlying pathophysiology is poorly understood, diagnosis takes ten years on average, and there is currently no cure. 18 “Endometriosis: Key facts,” World Health Organization, March 31, 2021.
• Menopause: Women spend more than a third of their lives in peri- or post-menopause, and trends indicate that 1.2 billion women globally will be in these life stages by 2030. 19 Craig Best et al., “Prevalence of menopausal symptoms among mid-life women: Findings from electronic medical records,” BMC Women’s Health , December 2015, Volume 15, Number 1. The vast majority of women find that menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and sleep disturbances interfere with their lives, yet only a quarter obtain treatment. 20 Deb Gordon, “73% of women don’t treat their menopause symptoms, new survey shows,” Forbes , July 13, 2021. The economic impact is significant, with one study estimating nearly $1,400 in health costs and $770 in lost productivity per person per year for untreated hot flashes alone. 21 Peter M. Aupperle et al., “Incremental direct and indirect costs of untreated vasomotor symptoms,” Menopause , March 2015, Volume 22, Number 3, pp. 260–66.

There is great potential to begin addressing these conditions in new ways. A suite of scientific advances can now be harnessed in women’s health. Recent advances in genomics, tissue engineering, and cell and gene therapy are ushering in a new wave of healthcare innovations that can be applied to underserved female-specific conditions. For example, researchers are studying transcriptomics (the study of all RNA molecules in a cell) for treating otherwise elusive conditions such as preeclampsia or preterm birth. Others are now using tissue engineering to create uterine organoids in order to push the knowledge frontier on endometriosis. The potential is vast to redefine a host of conditions, including endometriosis, preeclampsia, and unexplained infertility, and to achieve advances to the degree that researchers are already achieving with oncology and immunology. Investors, researchers, and companies alike have an opportunity to participate in this rising wave of innovation and to deliver a new era in women’s health.

Women’s health is not a niche market, and it includes much more than just maternal or reproductive care. Indeed, women’s healthcare presents enormous opportunities for value creation and for improving the lives and livelihoods of women, with positive effects that redound across society. The first waves of major change are already on the rise.

Plants can grow in near-darkness, new research shows—here are three promising benefits

by Sven Batke, The Conversation

Plants can grow with much less light than previously thought, according to a new study on tiny water-based organisms called microalgae that has been published in Nature Communications . The German-led team of researchers lowered light sensors into Arctic water to a depth of 50 meters to test how low light levels must become before plant life ceases to exist, with incredible results.

They found that plants were able to perform photosynthesis —the process in which their leaves convert sunlight into energy—with very little light indeed. Not only did the microalgae carry out this process at the lowest light levels ever recorded (just 0.04 micromoles of photons m⁻²/s⁻¹), this wasn't very far from what computer simulations predict to be the lowest light possible in any circumstances (0.01 micromoles of photons m⁻²/s⁻¹).

To put this in context, typical light conditions outside on a clear day in Europe are between 1,500-2,000 micromoles of photons m⁻²/s⁻¹—that's more than 37,000–50,000 times the amount of light required by those Arctic microalgae. It is an amazing discovery that some plants are adapted to survive with so much less light.

Many people think of plants as nice-looking greens. Essential for clean air, yes, but simple organisms. A step change in research is shaking up the way scientists think about plants: they are far more complex and more like us than you might imagine. This blossoming field of science is too delightful to do it justice in one or two stories. This article is part of a series, Plant Curious, exploring scientific studies that challenge the way you view plant life.

This discovery offers several exciting possibilities for the field of plant sciences:

1. Extended growing seasons

Many areas around the world receive too little sunlight because they are far from the equator and endure long winters, or are persistently covered by cloud. The UK is affected by cloud cover, for instance: in 2024 it is on the way to having one of the worst periods of total light hours since the 1900s (only the 1930s and early 1990s were worse).

Now that we know how little light is required for photosynthesis, scientists could develop crops that require much less light to thrive in such places by learning from these Arctic microalgae. By unlocking their genetic potential, many crops could benefit by using plant breeding or biotech approaches to alter them accordingly.

In particular, this could help to eke more out of short growing seasons and increase food production. Even in a relatively southerly place like the UK, breeding plants that can photosynthesize with less light would potentially increase crop yields .

2. Sustainable agriculture

There could be additional benefits for growing plants indoors such as in greenhouses, polytunnels or vertical farms (where crops are grown in vertically stacked layers, such as racks of shelves). These systems sometimes rely on artificial lighting, which is both energy-intensive and costly.

If crops can be engineered to perform photosynthesis at lower light intensities—without compromising things like yield, taste or smell, the energy demand for artificial lighting could be reduced. This would reduce costs, a benefit that could be passed on to customers, and also help cut carbon emissions.

3. Space farming

Perhaps one of the most exciting prospects of this research is that it could potentially make it easier to grow plants in space . One of the main challenges for space missions to the moon, Mars or eventually beyond, is how to feed anyone trying to live in those worlds for any length of time. Sunlight can be limited, so we'll need highly efficient ways of producing food that don't use much energy.

The discovery that photosynthesis can occur under such minimal light conditions suggests that crops could be grown either on other worlds or in spaceships using less energy to create light than previously thought. Combined with crops that are conducive to space conditions—spinach, lettuce and potatoes are among those that have been grown there before—this could be a critical step forward for long-term missions.

In short, this discovery is a promising breakthrough for the future. For those who sat through photosynthesis lessons in school and perhaps found it tedious, these new possibilities move it to a whole other galaxy.
