Learn
Review general study information and ask what participation could require.
For patients
Your questions belong in the conversation.
Considering research is a personal decision. We provide clear information so you can decide whether learning more is right for you.
What participation may involve
Discuss
A research team may review the study, possible risks, potential benefits, alternatives, and your rights.
Decide
Eligibility is determined by study-specific criteria. Expressing interest never guarantees enrollment, and participation is voluntary.
Stay informed
Follow approved study announcements.
Follow GCRP for approved opportunities, patient education, and updates from our Georgia research sites. Social posts provide general information; eligibility and enrollment are determined only through the applicable study process.
Do not share health information on social media. Comments and direct messages are not private study-screening or medical channels.
Informed consent
Permission is a process, not a signature.
You should have time to review information, ask questions, and discuss participation with people you trust. You may decline or withdraw, subject to appropriate safety procedures, without being promised a medical benefit.
