engage is your gateway to clinical research throughout the University of Michigan - one of the largest research universities in the world.
Thousands of people take part in U-M studies each year - and each person's participation matters! Research volunteers help our doctors and researchers test new drugs and medical devices, evaluate new medical procedures, improve medical care, and discover new things about the human body and mind.
engage provides "one-stop shopping" for people who want to help medicine move forward by participating in clinical research at the University of Michigan.
If you have a particular medical condition or history, or you know someone who does, engage can show which studies need participants with certain characteristics. For generally healthy people, engage can match you with researchers who need people like you.
