Research Subject Recruiting Services

In keeping with our goal to increase the scientific and medical knowledge needed to eradicate diabetes and help those with diabetes to live better lives diabetes investigators who need volunteers for IRB-approved studies can take advantage of three recruitment avenues:

1. Our Website:  Short descriptions of studies can be included on the website.
Click here to see an example or here for the link for guidelines for including your study in the PSIDO newsletter.

2. Our Newsletter:  Short descriptions can be included in the newsletter which is available online.  Paper copies are also distributed in locations across Central PA. Click here to see the most recent newsletter or here for the link for guidelines for including your study in the PSIDO newsletter.

3. Our Diabetes Database:  This open database contains names and contact information of volunteers who are willing to have this information shared and to be contacted about participation in research studies.  We can search the database and provide names and contact information of interested volunteers who generally match recruitment criteria. Click here for Diabetes Database information.  Please email  luk10@psu.edu to request a list of potential volunteers from the database.  Investigators who have volunteers who have expressed a desire to be contacted for future studies are encouraged to share these names for inclusion in the database. Email luk10@psu.edu for details.  

4. Our Diabetes Registry:  The registry offers an ideal way of recruiting volunteers into research studies of specific diabetes care and related interventions.  Associations between patient characteristics and disease outcomes can be obtained from cross-sectional and longitudinally searches.  Click here for Diabetes Registry information.

 We look forward to providing these services to you and your colleagues!
