Participation is essential to our research.
The newly established WVU CPRC is a contract research organization (CRO) which will serve the research needs of the pharmaceutical industry by conducting clinical trials of medications being developed for use in the United States and elsewhere. Among the types of studies that can be performed are bio-equivalency studies, required to establish that generic medications have the same properties as their name-brand equivalents, and pharmacokinetic studies, which measure how drugs are absorbed and used by the human body with and without food.
Results.
We focus on providing high quality results through adherence to very stringent regulatory guidelines while ensuring the highest safety standards for our study participants.
Participation.
To make our research possible we need healthy participants for each of our studies. Each potential participant goes through a qualifying screening process and is selected for study based on this information. Participants receive a free medical exam and any information that may result from the exam. Upon study completion participants will receive compensation.

Benefits.
This type of research study not only benefits you by providing information on how your body will react upon taking it (think about the labels on the side of medicine bottles) but it also benefits you by saving money! Without our research there would't be more cost friendly prescription options or advances in health.
