Our Services
Study Coordination
Our experienced Research Coordinators assist faculty and their research teams with time-consuming study coordination tasks. Services include screening potential participants, scheduling lab appointments, lab space and lab equipment, text, email or call for appointment reminders, scheduling transportation and processing payments to participants.
Recruiting control participants for our neurological studies can sometimes be challenging, as volunteers need to meet specific health criteria. Having so many resources available in one place through the Community Participant Registry has made a significant difference. We’ve been fortunate to connect with many individuals who are not only eligible but also genuinely interested and committed to supporting research. It’s truly inspiring to work with such thoughtful and engaged participants. The registry has been easy to use, thanks in large part to the CHRC team, who promote our studies widely and provide consistent, professional, and helpful support. Working with them has made a real difference in moving our research forward.
Registries
UD researchers can recruit participants for IRB-approved studies through a volunteer registry that includes over 1,500 local individuals interested in research participation.
Researchers can also increase visibility for their studies by listing them on the Study Listings webpage, posting flyers on campus (e.g., the STAR Campus flyer wall and digital monitors), and promoting through our social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn).

The CHRC registry has been incredibly helpful for my dissertation study. The community has been responsive and supportive, and participants have shown a genuine interest in contributing to research that impacts their health and well-being. This has made the recruitment process both smooth and rewarding
Recruitment
We are canvassing the community to help recruit potential participants for all UD research studies. We represent all human subject research at UD and are happy to share your recruitment flyers! We also maintain the STAR recruitment monitors in the HSC lobby and PT clinic and the research study wall at STAR and the Tower. Add your study to our website for even more recruitment opportunities! We are working toward having our website as a one stop shop recruitment tool for all human subject research being done at UD.
We also encourage everyone to take part in the nationwide registry ResearchMatch, You can add your study to the site for help in recruitment or you can participate in studies across the nation! Exciting opportunities for all!

Study inclusion in the Community Registry has been a complementary addition to our research participant recruitment efforts. We’ve enrolled registry participants in the short time our study has been added to the Registry, no small feat given the abundant exclusion criteria associated with our protocol.
Data Management and Training
CHRC offers a secure data management solution for human subject research through REDCap. REDCap is a secure web platform for building and managing online databases and surveys.
The FAQ’s page offers quick answers to many common questions.
CHRC manages the REDCap instance for University of Delaware. Our REDCap management includes everything related to REDCap: REDCap server backup, upgrade and maintenance, REDCap user support, and also building individual REDCap projects for researchers.
CHRC data systems analysts provide training to researchers on data management best practices, including how to build and maintain REDCap projects throughout the lifespan of a study. Implementing proper data management is essential for compliance with funding agency requirements. Our team is here to help you understand and apply these practices to ensure your research remains compliant. We encourage all new REDCap users to review REDCap training materials before attempting to build any REDCap projects.
