Participant relations.
Upon arrival at our facility you will be greeted by a participant relations representative who will ask for basic contact and general medical information to determine study eligibility. To participate in a study at WVU CPRC you must first speak with a participant relations representative. No time for a visit? No worries you can speak with a participant relations representative by phone, email or website request. General contact and medical history will only be collected by phone or visit to the facility. You can also click here to see a short video about procedures for the day of the study.
Each study could require a specific BMI range which will be explained to you upon speaking to our recruiting staff. Although they are unable to calculate BMI for you over the phone we recommend calculating your own BMI using the following BMI Calculator. Should you not fall within these designated weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) ranges it is possible that you will not pass the screening process to enter the study.
After eligibility is determined you will be given a appointment for screening and dates that the study will occur so that proper planning can be made. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address provided as a reminder of appointment time, study dates, and include helpful information. We encourage participants to bring previous medical history to the screening process so that required questions can be answered accurately. This will also help to reduce your time spent in the next step: screening.
