For Participants

How it works

Taking part in research starts with a short conversation. The study's research team handles everything after that.

1

Learn about a study

Volunteers reach us through study-specific outreach for conditions they live with, or by contacting us directly about research in their area.

2

Pre-qualify online

Answer a short questionnaire for the study you choose. It checks the basic requirements before anyone contacts you.

3

Hear from the study team

If you pre-qualify, the research site reaches out to explain the study, answer questions, and schedule a screening visit.

Why Volunteer

What participants get from clinical research

Compensation for your time

Most studies pay for completed visits and reimburse travel. Amounts vary by study and are explained before you agree to anything.

Access to new treatments

Participants may receive investigational medicines and close monitoring from doctors and nurses, years before those treatments reach the market.

Care at no cost

Study-related exams, lab work, and medication are provided by the sponsor. You do not need health insurance to take part.

A real contribution

Every approved treatment exists because volunteers took part in trials. Your participation helps the next patient.

Services

Recruitment services for every phase of a study

We support Phase II through Phase IV trials and observational studies, from feasibility through last-patient-in.

Feasibility & planning

Protocol review, target-population sizing by geography, and an enrollment forecast before any spend.

Multi-channel outreach

Email, search, social, and partner-site campaigns written in plain language and reviewed for IRB submission.

Pre-screening & qualification

Online and phone pre-screens built on your inclusion and exclusion criteria, so sites only see candidates who fit.

Site referral delivery

Referrals sent to each site's preferred inbox, CRM, or call center with the pre-screen answers attached.

Enrollment reporting

Weekly reporting from first contact to randomization, by site and by channel, so budgets go where enrollment is happening.

Retention & re-engagement

Visit reminders, missed-visit follow-up, and outreach to keep participants engaged through study completion.

For Sponsors, CROs & Research Sites

Enroll the right participants, faster

Under-enrollment is the most common reason studies run late. We run digital patient outreach and pre-screening so your coordinators spend their time on qualified referrals.

  • Digital outreach: targeted email, search, and social campaigns built around your protocol's inclusion criteria and site locations.
  • Pre-screening: custom online questionnaires that filter on age, diagnosis, medications, and location before a referral reaches your site.
  • Referral delivery: qualified leads sent to your site or call center in real time, with full tracking from first click to enrollment.
  • Retention support: visit reminders and re-engagement outreach to keep enrolled participants on schedule.
  • Compliance: IRB-reviewed materials, consent-based data collection, and participant opt-out honored on every channel.

Pricing that follows results

We offer per-referral and per-enrolled-participant pricing, so you pay for outcomes rather than impressions. Every engagement starts with a feasibility review of your protocol and target locations.

Email info@brighttrials.com with the study indication, number of sites, and enrollment target, and we will respond with a plan.
