My Duke Research website

The new My Duke Research website is a joint initiative of Duke Office of Clinical Research (DOCR) and Duke Clinical & Translational Science Institute (CTSI). The primary goal of the new website is to help increase recruitment for Duke Health clinical trials, primarily in central North Carolina and southern Virginia. As recruiting participants across a broad demographic range and health continuum has proven challenging, a goal of the new website is improving awareness of and trust in clinical trials, particularly in underserved communities, to help better engage participation from these under-represented communities.

The new website boasts a fully functional clinical trials directory with filters tested to be easy for the target audiences to use. The directory is kept up to date with daily syncing of clinical trials information fed by an internal Duke Health data source. Study listings provide tailored contact forms to allow potential participants to indicate interest. The site provides English and Spanish content for high value content, including select study details. Additionally, the new site provides educational content about the clinical trials process, results of studies, and publicizes upcoming events to connect the Durham community with the clinical research process.
