Participant Recruitment

The hardest part of any study — handled.

Finding the right participants is where most study timelines fall apart. We recruit patients, clinicians, and healthcare professionals matched to your screener — nationally, efficiently, and without the back-and-forth.

How It Works

Recruitment that's built around your study, not around our database.

Screener Review

We start with your inclusion/exclusion criteria and feasibility check. If your screener is too tight for the timeline, we'll tell you upfront and suggest adjustments — before you're already committed.

Sourcing & Outreach

We pull from health system relationships, academic medical centers, patient communities, and professional networks. National reach, not just Minneapolis.

Screening & Qualification

Every participant is screened against your criteria before being presented to you. We don't fill slots with warm bodies — we send you qualified candidates.

  • Phone and written screeners
  • Credential and license verification (clinicians)
  • Conflict of interest checks

Scheduling & Day-Of

We handle all participant communication, confirmations, and reminders. On study day, we manage check-in, consent, and incentive distribution so your team can focus on the research.

  • Automated reminders and confirmations
  • Day-of participant management
  • Incentive payment processing
  • No-show replacement (when possible)
