Breakthroughs in medical treatments help millions of people live happier, healthier, more productive lives. Most of us have personally benefited from research in some way even if we don’t realize it.

Most of the medicines prescribed by our doctors, the medical devices that sustain and improve peoples' lives, and even how we are treated in certain situations by medical professionals, all began with clinical research. These advances would not have been possible without the help of research volunteers.

Be a health hero, participate in research.

By participating in research, you can:

  • Learn more about your condition
  • Gain access to potential treatments before they are made widely available
  • Help future generations by contributing to today’s research

There are a lot of research studies going on right here at the University at Buffalo. Participation in these studies can involve anything from taking a survey, talking with a researcher one-on-one or in a group, having visits with a study doctor or nurse, or even trying a new medication.

There are studies that are looking for healthy volunteers, while some are looking for volunteers with specific health conditions.
