Volunteer for Research
We are excited to offer people of all ages and backgrounds the opportunity

The studies are free, and some also provide participant compensation.
Come join us as we create a healthier tomorrow!
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial involves a researcher or researchers who directly observe a person or people and who collect data to answer a scientific or medical question about the safety or potential benefit of an intervention. This intervention may come in the form of a new medication, device, teaching concept, training method, or a behavior change.
Participants who become involved in clinical trials have the opportunity to take a more active role in their own health and to gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available. In addition, the valuable time they contribute helps medical research advance health options.

When it isn't enough to say "eat more vegetables," USU research points to practical nutrition techniques.

Intervention isn’t a word to use lightly. You don’t have an intervention when problems aren’t really that bad. Interventions aren’t fun—sometimes people cry, sometimes people get defensive. After all, it is hard to give up the life you know and completely switch mindsets. It isn’t a comfortable place to be. It is really no wonder, then, that there are a few tears.
But interventions, while not easy, are worth the effort. The intervention staged by Heidi Wengreen, USU nutrition and food science professor, is like others: stepping in at a perfect time, helping to prevent further damage, educating and empowering those intervened upon. The difference is that Wengreen intervenes using vegetables. (click here to read entire article)
