The Stony Brook Research Ripple and the Stony Brook Autism Research Registry are available for researchers for the purposes of study recruitment.
Ripple Study Recruitment is a HIPAA-compliant, web-based solution aimed at enhancing the recruitment and retention of participants in clinical trials and research studies. It helps streamline the entire recruitment process through features such as campaign creation, logging contacts, participant screening, and tracking enrollment metrics, all from one centralized online platform. This enables research teams to more efficiently recruit, enroll, track, and manage study participants, ultimately improving the rates of participant recruitment and retention in clinical and research projects. Stoyn Brook has deployed two specialized registries, including a General Registry and an Autism Research Registry, to support researchers in their study recruitment efforts.
Researchers and the subject recruitment personnel on their study teams, as well as the community who wants to participate in research relevant and of interest to them.
This resource can be requested through XX, and can be granted with IRB study approval, which includes the submission of how the researcher intends to use Ripple for recruitment.
A researcher is studying the brain images of adolescents diagnosed with autism. They will need to recruit 30 participants currently aged 14-17. The researcher requests the service, and Melanie Keister will review the IRB protocol, create a study space for the researcher, and then move potentially eligible Ripple participants into that study space for the researcher to prescreen. Melanie will create a user account for a study team member listed on the IRB with permission for patient contact.
