Pulmonary Disease and Disorders clinical trials

NHLBI Research Participant Recruitment Registry

Background: The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) conducts clinical trials that look at new ways to prevent, detect, or treat disease. It wants to create an NHLBI Recruitment Registry that lets people sign up to be contacted for NHLBI studies. It also wants to make sure that the data people share about themselves is safely stored. Researchers will be able to use this registry to prescreen people for clinical trials. Objective: To create and maintain an NHLBI research participant recruitment registry. This is an observational registry for collecting, storing, and providing access to data on people with a disease or condition of interest, or as a healthy volunteer to the NHLBI. Eligibility: People who contact the NIH to participate in an NHLBI IRB-approved study Design: Researchers will contact participants by telephone to obtain informed consent verbally. Participants will give the following data: - name - date of birth - phone number - address - email address - diagnosis (if applicable) - referring provider. Participants will share how they heard of the study. They may give their medical records. They may be asked if they were enrolled in an NHLBI study in the past. Participants will be asked if they would like to be contacted for other current or future studies. If they say no, they will not be contacted. But their data will stay in the database. They can also withdraw from the registry. If they do, their reason will be recorded in the database. The registry will be created and maintained by the Office of the Clinical Director at NHLBI.
