Thank you! To the millions of people who give the gift of participation each year; and to the rest of us who admire them for doing so.

It is said that the greatest gift is one which is given anonymously, giving when you do not know whether you will get direct personal benefit. This is the gift that you have given by taking part in clinical research. It is a brave and selfless act. Your decision to participate may not only bring you hope but also benefits public health and advances medical knowledge.

Our Medical Heroes program honors and educates the medical heroes found in everyday life. Below are resources to provide ongoing education for people considering clinical trials as well as those who have already been involved.

CISCRP was featured in a Wall Street Journal Supplement, Your Guide to Understanding the Need for Clinical Research and Participation with it's feature article, Understanding Clinical Trials: Appreciating Medical Heroes.
