Each listing's study team will confirm the exact amount before you enroll.
Do I need to be sick to join a clinical trial in Gainesville?
No. Many studies recruit healthy volunteers, especially early-phase studies run at dedicated research centers. Others need participants diagnosed with a specific condition.
