Why ALSA
Most clinical trial volunteers worry about two things: is it safe, and will I be taken care of? We're built around answering both.
Physician oversight on every study and certified study coordinators at every visit. Our PIs are board-certified and average 15+ years in clinical research.
Study visits, lab work, and imaging related to the trial are provided at no cost — and you don't need insurance to take part. Many studies also offer compensation for your time and travel.
Studies at Manhattan, Stamford, and Bridgeport share a unified recruitment platform and 35,000+ patient database — so we find the right study faster.
Phase II–IV experience across rheumatology, endocrinology, cardio, ID, vaccines, CNS, immunology, and metabolic disease. Sponsors return because our enrollment is reliable.
Our clinics
Five private exam rooms, on-site CLIA-certified lab, ECG, vitals, secure monitor workstations, and –20°C / –70°C storage at every location. Advanced imaging accessible nearby.
How it works
1
Browse open studies by indication or clinic. Each listing tells you what the study involves, who can join, and what compensation is offered.
2
Answer a few quick questions to see if you may be eligible. Our coordinators will follow up to schedule a screening visit.
3
Meet the team, ask questions, and complete medical history and basic tests. There's no obligation — if it isn't right for you, we say so.
4
If you enroll, you receive study-related care at no cost and close monitoring at every visit. Visits are scheduled around your life.
Compensation
Most ALSA studies compensate volunteers for visit time and travel expenses. Specific amounts vary by study, length, and complexity — we share full compensation details before any screening visit.
Typical compensation includes
Common questions
Every ALSA study is reviewed by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) and conducted under FDA-regulated protocols. You receive close monitoring throughout — usually more attentive care than typical clinical visits. You can withdraw at any time, for any reason.
Very closely — often more attentively than routine medical care. You'll see the same study team at every visit, with regular check-ins built into the schedule, and they're your point of contact for any question along the way.
No. Study-related care — study visits, labs, and imaging — is provided at no cost, and you don't need insurance to enroll.
Getting to your visits shouldn't be a barrier. When transportation is a concern, we can help — often by arranging and covering a ride for you, or by reimbursing your travel. Just let your study coordinator know what you need.
Anywhere from a single visit (vaccine trials) to multiple years (long-term cardio or rheumatology studies). Each study listing tells you the expected commitment up front.
Yes — most visits welcome a family member or friend. We have private exam rooms and waiting areas at all three locations.
