NZCR How to participate


Join our community, contribute to groundbreaking medical research, and be reimbursed for your participation.


Step 1:

Register your interest with us.  You will play a vital role in improving the lives of people worldwide and be reimbursed for participating. 

Step 2:

After signing up with us, choose a trial from the current trials available or we will match you to a suitable trial, providing details on what the study involves, when it will happen, and how much compensation you can expect.  

Step 3:

Through a pre-screening call, we walk you through the purpose of the trial, what’s expected of you, and any possible risks or benefits involved. We’ll also ask about your health and lifestyle to determine if the trial is a good match for you.

Step 4:

If you are selected for a trial, you will be invited to attend a screening visit.  Before any health checks, you will be asked to sign a consent form confirming you are participating freely and understand all aspects of the trial.

This will take place at one of our research facilities and usually takes between 1-3 hours depending on the trial. You will meet our medical team, and we’ll explain any potential risks or benefits.

During the screening, we will ask you about your health to see if you’re a good fit for the trial. This might involve answering questions, having a physical exam, and possibly some lab tests.  e.g., blood, urine, and other trial-specific tests to confirm your eligibility to take part in the trial.  

Step 5:

If you’re eligible, you’ll start the trial. Participating in the trial can involve taking an investigational medication, trying out a potential new treatment or device, or following a specific health regimen.

This usually involves overnight stays from 2 nights up to 20 nights, plus clinic visits where our medical team closely monitors your health and progress.

It is important for safety reasons that you attend all the clinic visits as prescribed by the research staff. Participation in clinical trials is voluntary, and you can withdraw from the trial at any time.   

Step 6:

On completion of the inpatient stay, you’ll need to visit our clinic for check-ups and to provide updates on how you’re feeling.   

Step 7:

You’ll be informed about the results and how your participation has contributed to medical research. And of course, be reimbursed for your participation and for your support to advancing global health. 

What our participants have to say

Hi, I'm Michael. I have done several trials l with NZCR . I love contributing to medical progress. I look forward to visits, the food is amazing and there’s a massive TV with Sky and Netflix. The nurses and doctors are lovely, the care they take to do everything safely and correctly is obvious. I have experienced zero side effects from trial drugs. The clinic stays are ideal for getting away from daily distractions to focus on the trial, reading, or Netflix and you get a thorough medical check.

It was amazing being part of a clinical study that will aid in actual treatment of autoimmune disorders. For me contributing was personal as I have a very dear friend who suffers from this condition. You are treated really well and the Doctors are very informative and honest and encourage you to ask questions at any time. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to give back to the medical field of research.

This my 2nd trial and it’s a long one (16 days). The hardest part is maybe getting a needle in my arm for a blood test. Otherwise, its like a retreat. I have a lot of time for study, reading & light exercise. I am fed well and enjoy talking and the nurses or other participants.

As a nursing student, I am interested in medical research. I find doing studies at NZCR is like a paid holiday. I can come in do my trial and not worry about anything else – the cooking, the dishes all get done for me! I feel very safe and well cared for by the medical team at NZCR

"Hi I’m Alex, I have done quite a few studies at NZCR. I have found the nurses and doctors to be professional and caring. The facilities themselves to be comfortable, the lounge area providing a nice place to relax. The food portions have been very large and delicious. It's a great way to support my studying without having to take out a student loan."

Alex

This is my 5th trial at NZCR. I enjoy doing clinical trials as it is time away from the stresses of life. I feel really well looked after by the NZCR staff. I usually work from home so unlimited free WiFi means I can just do my work at NZCR, enjoy the break and get reimbursed well for my contribution to medical research.
