For Research Participants

Each year, millions of people volunteer to participate in clinical research studies. Without volunteers, there would be no new therapies for diseases and disorders.

As part of the University of Kentucky’s mission to improve medical care and treatment, UK faculty and staff actively participate in numerous clinical research studies for a broad range of medical conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease, asthma, breast cancer, cervical cancer, dental disorders, diabetes, heart failure, HIV/AIDS, kidney disease, surgery, and more.
