The Study Participant Recruitment Core supports the efficient, effective, and ethical recruitment of participants for research studies conducted by CNRC investigators.
This shared resource supports the study participant recruitment efforts of CNRC investigators by organizing and supporting a suite of resources, including information on community partners for participant recruitment, a study volunteer database, and quarterly meetings of CNRC study coordinators to learn about the latest advances in effective recruitment strategies of children and families for research studies.
Investigators needing a more detailed description of the core for research proposal preparation may contact RecruitCoreCNRC@bcm.edu. Learn more about the Core members.
