ResearchMatch for Des Moines University Researchers
Access to ResearchMatch is granted on a study-by-study basis; that is, investigators must individually register each study. Registration takes only a few minutes and you must complete the process in one sitting.
There are two levels of access available to [Institution Name] investigators: feasibility access and recruitment access.
Investigators may sign themselves up in ResearchMatch or may delegate recruitment privileges to a study coordinator or other study team member (a proxy).
Feasibility Access
Feasibility access gives you the ability to view aggregate data on the registry population without an IRB-approved protocol. To register a study for feasibility access, you must:
- Be affiliated with [Institution Name]
- Provide your [Institution Name] email address
- Create a ResearchMatch username and password
Recruitment access
Recruitment access gives you the ability to recruit volunteers through ResearchMatch. To register a study for recruitment access, you must meet the same access requirements as for feasibility access. In addition, for each study you want to recruit for, you must:
- Be the principal investigator (PI) or authorized to recruit for the study on behalf of the PI
- Upload an electronic copy of your IRB approval letter, and an IRB approved recruitment message to implement when using ResearchMatch.
Note: Individuals accessing as a proxy for the PI will be asked to indicate that, and to provide the study PI's name, email address and phone number.
Des Moines University is part of a national consortium that develop and uses ResearchMatch.
