BioLinked | ImpactLife

overview

BioLinked’s goal is to connect extraordinary people like you with the nation’s most promising research. More than 85% of clinical research studies do not meet their enrollment goals due to lack of participants causing delays and/or termination of the entire study. When you join the BioLinked Registry, you become a part of the research community that is bringing new hope to patients as soon as possible.

Your participation in the BioLinked community propels clinical research that finds cures, paving the way for a healthier tomorrow.

It only takes five minutes on average to sign up for a BioLinked Registry profile. Once you have created a BioLinked Registry Profile, you are ready to fill out the questionnaire which goes into more depth about your social and health history. This part takes about 15 minutes on average to complete.

If you match a researcher’s need, a representative from ImpactLife will contact you. If you have any interest in participating, they will explain what is needed, and how that may affect you. The choice to move forward is completely up to you. Unless you agree, the researcher will never know your identity.
