What Are Paid Research Studies?

Paid research studies, often called clinical research or clinical trials, are carefully regulated medical studies designed to evaluate the safety, dosage, and effectiveness of a drug, vaccine, therapy, medical device, or other health-related intervention.

All studies at Santos Research Center are FDA-regulated and IRB-approved. Participants are protected through informed consent, ongoing safety monitoring, and strict ethical standards.

Types of Medical Research Studies

Most trials fall into two broad categories:

• Interventional studies: Participants receive a study medication, vaccine, or other intervention. Researchers evaluate how the body responds over time.
• Observational studies: No new treatment is given. Researchers collect information about symptoms, lifestyle factors, or disease progression through exams, questionnaires, or secure digital tools.

Studies may involve healthy volunteers or individuals with specific medical conditions, depending on current enrollment needs. You can view condition-specific opportunities through our Active Studies page.

All study-related care, including exams, laboratory testing, and investigational products, is provided at no cost.

Step 2: Complete Pre-Screening

Pre-screening is typically a short phone call or online form. The research team will ask about:

• Age and basic health history
• Symptoms or diagnoses
• Current medications
• Availability for clinic visits

This step helps determine whether the study may be a good and safe fit before scheduling an in-person visit.

Step 3: Screening Visit and Informed Consent

If pre-screening is successful, you’ll be invited to the clinic for a screening visit. Before anything begins, the study team will review informed consent, which explains:

• Why the study exists
• What procedures are involved
• Potential risks and benefits
• Visit schedules
• Compensation details
• Your rights as a participant

You may ask questions, take time to decide, or decline participation at any point.

Screening visits may include a physical exam, lab work, questionnaires, and review of your medical history. Once eligibility is confirmed, you may be officially enrolled.

Who Can Join a Clinical Trial?

Each study has specific eligibility criteria designed to protect participants and ensure accurate results. Factors may include:

• Age range
• Sex or gender
• Health status or diagnosis
• Medication use
• Lifestyle factors
• Ability to attend visits at our Tampa office

Some studies are open to healthy volunteers. Others are designed for people with specific health conditions. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, our team can help guide you or you can start by reviewing our open research studies in Tampa.
