CTSI is excited to share two recent stories that demonstrate how StudyFinder is helping more Minnesotans connect with clinical research opportunities.
The University of Minnesota Medical School’s article, “Connecting Minnesotans to Medical Discovery Through StudyFinder,” showcases how the platform lists nearly 400 active studies, helping people discover research opportunities that could benefit their health and communities. The story underscores ongoing efforts to increase awareness and make clinical research more accessible statewide.
A recent story from the Office of Academic Clinical Affairs, “Where Research Meets Care: New StudyFinder Kiosk Connects Minnesotans to Clinical Trials,” details the launch of a StudyFinder kiosk at M Health Fairview Clinics and Surgery Center. Designed to enhance accessibility, the kiosk allows patients and visitors to easily explore clinical trial opportunities during their visit, further integrating research into the care environment and encouraging greater community involvement in clinical studies.
Together, these stories reflect the collaborative work of CTSI, its partners, and University of Minnesota researchers to increase visibility and access to clinical studies. Through technology and outreach, StudyFinder continues to be a vital tool for connecting Minnesotans with innovative health research.
