  • Complete and sign a health questionnaire attesting to lack of symptoms consistent with COVID-19 infection

What is a Clinical Research Study

Clinical research studies are scientific research studies on human volunteers performed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new drugs before they are submitted to the FDA for approval.
