tools, services, and infrastructure to support participant recruitment. Highlighted services include:</p> <p style="margin-left: 40px;"><a href="https://recruit.ucsf.edu/ehr">EHR Recruitment Service</a> This service allows studies to create automatically updated reports of UCSF Health patients who are potentially eligible for their study, and then use the reports to efficiently contact these patients with information about their study. </p> <p style="margin-left: 40px;"><a href="https://recruit.ucsf.edu/social-media-recruitment-service">Social Media Recruitment Service</a> Studies use this service to identify and engage potential study participants through paid advertisements on Facebook and Instagram. PRP works with the study team to create a social media recruitment strategy and posts the advertisements on a centralized UCSF Research Facebook page.</p> <p style="margin-left: 40px;"><a href="https://recruit.ucsf.edu/design-advertise">Free tools to create recruitment materials</a> Free tools to create appealing study recruitment materials and tips for how to advertise.</p> <p><a class="btn--large btn--more--reverse btn--full-width" href="https://recruit.ucsf.edu/">Learn more at recruit.ucsf.edu</a></p> <h2> </h2> <h2>UCSF Clinical Trials</h2> <p><a href="http://clinicaltrials.ucsf.edu" target="_blank">UCSF Clinical Trials</a> is a website that potential participants can use to search for studies and contact study teams to express their interest in enrolling. The website pulls data from clinicaltrials.gov and other data sources to display information such as the study description, investigator name and inclusion/exclusion criteria. To ensure that interested participants can reach the appropriate study team member, all study teams are encouraged to keep their clinicaltrial.gov records up-to-date and verify that the correct information is being displayed on UCSF Clinical Trials. It is also helpful to use simple, easy-to-understand language in describing the study to assist visitors' comprehension.</p> <p>Recruitment Guidelines and Tools</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://irb.ucsf.edu/recruitment">UCSF IRB Recruitment guidelines</a></li> <li><a href="https://irb.ucsf.edu/advertising-and-recruitment-letter-guidelines">UCSF Advertising and Recruitment Letter guidelines</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/Guidances/ucm126428.htm">FDA Direct Advertising Guidance</a></li> </ul> <p> </p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="column"> <div class="sidebar"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-sidebar"> <div id="block-block-36" class="block block-block"> <h3>See Also</h3> <div class="content"> <p><a href="http://accelerate.ucsf.edu/research/informatics/cohort-selection" target="_blank">Find tools for Cohort Selection</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div id="footer"> <div class="section"> <div class="region region-footer"> <div id="block-block-6" class="block block-block"> <div class="content"> <style type="text/css"> <![CDATA[/* ><!]]>*/ </style> <div class="quickref"> <h2 style="color:#000;font-size:22px;margin:0;padding: 0 0 6px;">Quick Reference</h2> <div class="wysiwyg_threecols layout--33-33-33"> <div class="wysiwyg_threecols--first"> <ul> <li><a href="http://policies.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">Campus Policies</a></li> <li><a href="http://cancer.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">Cancer Center (HDFCCC)</a></li> <li><a href="http://accelerate.ucsf.edu/research/crs" target="_blank">Clinical Research Services</a></li> <li><a href="http://ctsi.ucsf.edu" target="_blank">Clinical & Translational Science Institute (CTSI)</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="wysiwyg_threecols--second"> <ul> <li><a href="http://coi.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">Conflicts of Interest (COI)</a></li> <li><a href="http://accelerate.ucsf.edu/consult" target="_blank">Consultation Services</a></li> <li><a href="http://accelerate.ucsf.edu/cores/" target="_blank">Cores Search</a></li> <li><a href="https://ehs.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">Environment, Health and Safety</a></li> <li><a href="http://compliance.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">Ethics & Compliance</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="wysiwyg_threecols--third"> <ul> <li><a href="http://globalhealthsciences.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">Global Health Sciences</a></li> <li><a href="http://ita.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">Innovation, Technology & Alliances</a></li> <li><a href="http://irb.ucsf.edu" target="_blank">IRB / Human Research Protection Program</a></li> <li><a href="https://osr.ucsf.edu/" target="_blank">Office of Sponsored Research</a></li> <li><a href="http://profiles.ucsf.edu" target="_blank">UCSF Profiles</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <p style="float: right; margin: 1.2em 30px -1.5em; text-align: right; width: 6em;"><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#450d100705302636236b202130" style="color:#FFF"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e2aab7a0a297819184cc878697">[email protected]</span></a></p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-bottom"> <nav aria-label="Footer Navigation" class="footer--navigation"> <ul> <li><a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#dd95889f9da8beaebbf3b8b9a8">Contact Us</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/accessibility-resources">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ucsf.edu/website-privacy-policy">Privacy Policy</a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/website-terms-use">Terms of Use </a></li> <li><a href="https://websites.ucsf.edu/azlist">A-Z Website List</a></li> </ul> </nav> <div class="footer--copyright"> <p>© 2024 The Regents of the University of California</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script data-cfasync="false" src="/cdn-cgi/scripts/5c5dd728/cloudflare-static/email-decode.min.js"></script><script type="text/javascript"> /*<![CDATA[*/ (function() { var sz = document.createElement('script'); sz.type = 'text/javascript'; sz.async = true; sz.src = '//siteimproveanalytics.com/js/siteanalyze_8343.js'; var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(sz, s); })(); /*]]>*/ </script> </body> </html>
