"I've been participating in studies at Research Across America since the late 80s. I participate for a variety of reasons. One, I know that these studies and clinical trials will help thousands of people in fighting disease and helping people get well and healthier. Secondly, like over 40 million other Americans, I don't have health insurance. Studies and clinical trials give me the opportunity to treat some areas of my health (like GERD), that I might otherwise not be able to afford to be treated. Plus, I can get paid for the study or trial and they help me monitor my general health. I've recommended studies and clinical trials to many of my friends and will continue to participate myself. They're a Godsend."

"The reason I participate in research is two-fold. I worked many years an independent contractor with no health insurance and I could depend on Research Across America to help fill in the gap where my health was concerned. They helped me get better when I needed to. And in between jobs, having a research study would help tied me over until I could get work. In these tough economic times now, that's a real benefit. Knowing that the studies I participated in helped others was an extra benefit."

Research Across America (RAA) conducts medical studies in numerous locations across the country. RAA conducts Phase I, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4 trials in the following U.S. areas:
Research Across America is pleased to announce the opening of our Phase 1 Clinical Trial Facility at Medical Center Dallas. To read more information about the facility, visit our Phase 1 Clinical Trial Information Page.
Research Across America was established by our owner and founder, Jeffrey Adelglass, M.D. Dr. Adelglass conducted clinical trials for many years from his clinical practice and found a need for establishing a separate location devoted strictly for research in 1989. During that time we have grown from one single location to 7 regional locations devoted to conducting clinical trials and have managed over 1,800 clinical studies.
Research Across America is an independent Site Network-ISN, not an SMO; our sites are under one corporate umbrella for benefits purposes but they have the flexibility of negotiating their own contracts and budgets, and have their own coordinators and site managers. Our network of outstanding board-certified physicians investigators and professional research coordinators are committed to providing superior service to our patients and sponsor companies with which we work. Guided by our in-house quality assurance management, timely and accurate collection and completion of data is provided under the strictest ICH/GCP requirements.
By participating in a clinical trial you receive study-related medical care at no cost and compensation for your time and travel. You will also help in the discovery of new medicines and medical treatments for various types of health issues. Research volunteers may receive an active study drug, while some research studies have a placebo arm. Not all research studies involve a placebo. Some research studies utilize FDA approved medications, while other research studies involve an investigational medication. Some studies evaluate the use of an approved medication for a different medical condition, which makes the medicine in the trial an "investigational medication".
All studies are overseen by an experienced research physician who monitors your health throughout the trial. The doctors and clinical research staff adhere to the highest medical standards of patient care and are dedicated to finding tomorrow's cures today. Research is being done every day to find cures and new medical options that require research volunteers every day for the following medical conditions:
