For Patients, Caregivers, & the Public

CISCRP offers patients, their caregivers, and the general public an online Education Center to help them learn about clinical research and what it means to be a clinical research participant. Once you become educated on what clinical trials are, CISCRP strives to help you locate ongoing clinical trials through our free service called Search Clinical Trials.

CISCRP invites those who have participated in clinical research to join our Medical Hero Community and donate to our cause.
