Please note, completing the online contact, telephoning, visiting in person or sending a letter in no way obligates you to participate in a study. However, it may result in a telephone call or e-mail to assess your level of interest in participating in a research study.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I CONTACT THE CENTER?

Once we receive notification of your interest, a staff member will contact you to collect further information. Participation in a study is voluntary and may require visits to the University of Maryland, Baltimore campus, the Baltimore Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center or other research affiliate locations in the Baltimore area.
