Recruitment & Community Outreach

Community outreach is a verb. It is how we actively reach out to and engage the diverse communities we serve. So whether you’re a past, current, or future research participant looking for resources to learn more about how you can be a part of discovery at UH, or a family member or caregiver of someone recently diagnosed with a disease or condition seeking more options—we're here to support you on that journey.

The UH Clinical Research Center (CRC) is powered by staff with incredible skillsets, clinical and non-clinical experience, and a passion for connecting with the community. We use our curiosity to fuel conversations that lead to education and collaboration opportunities and ensure a broad understanding of clinical research. With a geographic footprint spanning Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast Ohio, we know that our value is only as good as our knowledge of what our communities need and want.

Schedule a Recruitment & Community Outreach Strategy Consultation

If you are a researcher who wants to ensure your research makes an impact beyond the walls of UH or are interested in working with a nonprofit or community, private or public organization or a government agency to build clinical research awareness amongst your community, fill out the survey below, or contact the UH Clinical Research Center at ClinicalResearch@UHhospitals.org.

Community Partners

We are continuously building and growing our relationships with valued community partners. From community development corporations, health and disease-specific nonprofit organizations, public and private employers, and school districts—as we reach out further into our communities, we see no limit on how we can all support the clinical research movement.
