Recruitment & Enrollment Capabilities
How CMR moves from protocol to enrolled participants — the database, referral network, outreach channels, and retention support that keep studies on schedule.
How We Identify Eligible Participants
Our multi-channel recruitment model rapidly surfaces qualifying, diverse participants for Phase II-IV protocols.
Study-Specific Database Prescreening
10,100+ patient records queryable by diagnosis, medication history, lab values, and comorbidities for rapid eligibility identification.
Physician & Practice Referrals
Established referral relationships with cardiology, endocrinology, and internal medicine practices across the greater Chicago area.
Community Outreach
Community events, faith-based partnerships, and local health initiatives connecting diverse, historically underrepresented populations to trials.
Digital Recruitment
Targeted digital advertising, database prescreening, physician referrals, and community-based outreach to surface qualifying participants.
Dedicated Screening & Follow-Up
Trained CRCs conduct informed consent, telephone prescreening, visit scheduling, and protocol-required assessments.
Participant Retention Support
Travel reimbursement, flexible scheduling, reminder calls, and patient-advocacy check-ins throughout the full study lifecycle.
Experience Recruiting Patients with Multiple Chronic Conditions
Many of our participants present with overlapping cardiometabolic conditions — cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, CKD, and hypertension. Our database and physician-referral network allow us to identify these complex patients for protocols requiring multi-morbid populations.
