How SHARE works for Researchers
SHARE can assist NHS R&D-approved studies by providing participants, blood samples, DNA, genomic and health data.
We can aid study recruitment by contacting participants by telephone, email or post; the approach used will depend on the study and help identify volunteers for questionnaires, focus groups, drug trials and a range of other research projects.
Using our interactive Researcher Tool, search the register for real-time health information.
How to Apply?
A Feasibility Application Form can be completed prior to your Full Application to check that SHARE can identify suitable numbers of participants/data/samples for your study. No charge is incurred for a Feasibility check.
