Midwest Institute for Clinical Research

Midwest Institute for Clinical Research (MICR) is an organization dedicated to the development and implementation of clinical research. It invites volunteers to explore paid clinical study opportunities and see whether they may qualify to participate. MICR’s research studies welcome people who are healthy as well as those with specific health conditions, helping researchers address questions related to disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. By taking part, volunteers can contribute to research intended to advance healthcare and support the development of new therapies for people in need.

The organization provides information to help prospective participants get started, including a trial-finding option and answers to frequently asked questions. Clinical study participation may involve evaluations such as blood tests and physical examinations, as well as study medications, depending on the research. MICR emphasizes that a clinical trial is a research study, not treatment for a particular illness or condition. Study evaluations do not replace care from a family physician or other primary healthcare provider.
