使用研究Match.org以支援研究人员招聘

什么是研究Match.org?

研究Match.org is a national recruitment registry that brings together researchers and people who are interested to learn more about health-related research studies via a secure website.

只有研究人员(带着“大拇指”).edu” domain) at the 澳门新葡新京官方 conducting a health-related study may use this tool for:

  • Feasibility Assessment – 研究ers use 研究Match to assess the availability of volunteers that matches the requirements for study eligibility. Results of a feasibility assessment are provided in aggregate, 没有单独的识别信息.
  • Recruiting – 研究ers invite volunteers who agree to be contacted.

开始

创建帐户

创建帐户 并按照提示进行注册. 你必须使用你的“umb”.edu” email (Gmail or non-UMB 电子邮件 are NOT allowed).

研究员需要培训 in the system once you've registered and logged in. The PI and proxy (anyone on study team using 研究Match) must complete the Zoom training. Save copies of the Zoom training invitation as evidence of training.

进行可行性评估

使用研究Match搜索构建工具, the researcher enters search criteria to assess availability of the study population of interest within the 研究Match database.

标准包括(但不限于):

  • Geographic factors (distance from institution and State)
  • 年龄
  • 性别
  • 身体特征(身高、体重、身体质量指数)
  • 种族和民族
  • 健康 status (diagnosed diseases and conditions)*
  • 药物治疗的历史
  • 两个状态
  • 英语或西班牙语

*Absence of diagnoses is also captured for healthy volunteers

在完成可行性研究后, researchers can view how many 研究Match volunteers meet study-specific criteria.

IRB approval is NOT required for Feasibility access only.

招募研究对象

研究Match provides tools to assess how many individuals meet eligibility criteria, to view non-identifying descriptions of potential matches, to add an IRB-approved recruitment message to send to eligible individuals, and inviting permission to release identifying information for researcher initiation of enrollment procedures. Tools include mechanisms for tracking enrollment statistics.

招聘访问需要IRB批准.

获得审查委员会的批准

Every study requesting Recruitment Access must receive IRB approval to use 研究Match.

在调查员协议中指定RM的使用. 请求批准使用此工具, researchers must include in the submission to the IRB an investigator Protocol specifying that 研究Match is requested to be used as a Recruitment Method.

如果研究与健康无关, IRB不能批准研究Match的使用, 你会被告知撤回你的请求. 因此,重要的是你 clarify in the IRB submission how your study is health-related.

Evidence of 研究er 培训 must be provided to the IRB. The IRB will only approve the use of 研究Match for recruitment if the PI and proxy (if applicable) have completed the 研究员培训研究匹配. Attach a copy of the Zoom 研究er 培训 invitation/email in the Project Personnel table in Kuali (same section where CITI training can be uploaded).

You must include in the IRB submission the “contact (recruitment) message” which will be sent to matched volunteers. Information identifying the study investigator(s) and how to contact recruitment coordinators must be omitted from this message, to retain communication pathways within 研究Match. The contact message must be text only and NOT include any hyperlinks/URLs or any contact information (study team names, 电子邮件, 或电话号码). 不允许拍照.

Contact message you will send to potential volunteers

(最大字符长度为2000. 请注意,空格计入字符长度.):

 

[本研究的目的是…]

[为什么重要]

[谁符合资格?]

Your contact message will appear inside standardized language that is included on all 电子邮件 from 研究Match.

Preview of a recruitment message from 研究匹配

研究Match现在有西班牙语版! If you have IRB approval for recruitment of Spanish-speaking participants, you can message Spanish-speaking volunteers with your IRB approved Spanish contact message. Use the new language filter on 研究Match indicating that your message is in Spanish.

上传研究相关信息

一旦IRB批准提供, researchers enter study details and upload the IRB-approval document (PDF format). Following verification of IRB approval to use 研究Match for recruitment, the requesting researcher will receive notice that access has been granted.

Identifying and Communicating with Potential Volunteers

研究ers search the 研究Match database to assess how many individuals meet eligibility criteria, to view non-identifying descriptions of potential matches, and to add the IRB-approved recruitment message to send to eligible individuals.

研究Match sends the study recruitment message to matched volunteers to inform them about a new opportunity to participate.

Once individuals respond with permission to be contacted for that study, personal contact information is made available to the researcher within the secure 研究Match system. 在比赛结束后, the PI follows the IRB approved research protocol and contacts the volunteer per research protocol. 研究ers must NEVER carbon copy (cc) the list of volunteers via email or any other method! This is a violation of the 研究Match agreement, and it is considered a reportable event to the IRB!

每年更新的研究匹配使用

Approval for Recruitment use of 研究Match will expire after one year for all studies (regardless of the IRB approval period), and the researcher will need to submit a request in 研究Match to renew.
