Discovery starts with you! Join the registry to take part of clinical research in your community.
What is a registry
The clinical research registry is designed to help expand research recruitment. Participants will provide basic contact, demographic, and health history information. Any individual interested in clinical research can enroll in the registry. Once enrolled, you will be able to search for relevant research trials.
Registry List
In addition to the Great Plains Clinical Research Registry, we invite you to explore and enroll in disease-specific registries. You do not have to have the disease or diagnosis to enroll. Both healthy volunteers and individuals with varying levels of health are encouraged to join.

Partners
The Great Plains region of the United States is a large, primarily rural area with many open spaces and country living.
Some people in the area can face loneliness and have difficulty accessing healthcare. The Great Plains IDeA-CTR, funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and headquartered at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, is a partnership of nine regional universities and medical centers with a mission to improve the region's health. Together with the NIH, our motto is that "together we are better." To learn more, visit https://gpctr.unmc.edu.
