There are many studies currently recruiting participants. Click here to browse the full list of Research Studies, or check out the lists below.

Why should you get involved in research? Watch this great video by our friends at SCI-BC to find out!

Feeling overwhelmed by the number of studies? Our study liaison, Adam Doelman, can work with you to narrow down what studies you may be eligible for. Over a few short phone calls, Adam will ask you questions about your research interests as well as common study inclusion and exclusion criteria.  From there he will tailor a list of research studies for you and provide details and contact information for each one. He can also connect you with study coordinators if you like. Send him an email to begin your consultation!
