Join the “I’m In” Campaign to Support Clinical Trial Research
I’m In is a campaign launched by the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), National Minority Quality Forum and Microsoft to improve health by increasing clinical trial participation among traditionally underrepresented populations. I’m In makes this possible through our secure online Clinical Trial Engagement Network. The network connects the volunteer to clinical trials in which they may be eligible to participate and provides physicians, researchers and academic institutions with access to de-identified data that categorizes different population groups by disease status and validates where recruitment efforts should take place in a cost-effective manner. The result is more effective clinical trials and in-turn, better health for everyone.
By connecting healthcare institutions, data warehouses and organizations of patients, researchers, and healthcare professionals, I’m In provides a user-friendly way to search and register for clinical trials online.
I’m In features five tools:
- Patient Registry: a database of patients interested in participating in a clinical trial.
- National Research Directory: a relational database with full contact information for points of care (such as hospitals, physician offices, pharmacies and clinics), key opinion leaders, and volunteer and faith-based organizations serving diverse communities.
- Investigator Registry: a database of experienced clinical trial investigators as well as physicians with no trial experience who serve diverse patient populations and are interested in serving as clinical trial investigators.
- Clinical Site Reporter: a database of current and past clinical trial locations by zip code and disease condition.
- National Health Index: a comprehensive database defining disease prevalence by zip code powered by data gathered from electronic medical records, administrative billing data and consumer-originated data.
The tools are compliant with all applicable privacy and security protocols, including relevant provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
Becoming part of I’m In is simple: fill out the registration form below and you’re in. Once registered, you have the option to provide additional information to access the specific clinical trial tools that you’re interested in.
Tools Available:
- Participant Portal: For patients and their family, friends, and physicians. Also for individuals who are interested in participating in clinical trials but don’t necessarily have a medical condition. Search for open clinical trials or volunteer to participate in one.
- Sponsor Portal: For pharmaceutical companies, CROS, and medical research centers. Sponsors can access all five registries – Patient Registry; National Research Directory; Investigator Registry; Clinical Site Reporter; and the National Health Index.
- Investigator Portal: For current clinical trial investigators, physicians, and other professionals who want to become investigators. Investigators can access the Patient Registry, Investigator Registry, and Clinical Site Reporter.
Please note that filling out this form does not enroll you in a clinical trial.
