Clinical trials play a crucial role in scientific advancement. Although many people are intrigued by participation's personal and financial rewards, many mistakenly believe they need to be diagnosed with a specific medical condition to qualify. It's a common misconception.

Once you know where to find and take part in paid clinical trials, you'll see that most pharmaceutical and biotech companies rely on healthy participants to assess FDA-reviewed medications further. A significant number of the clinical trials at Celerion facilities in Lincoln, Nebraska, and Phoenix, Arizona, are a great fit for college students looking for a way to monetize their time.

Finding Paid Clinical Trial Opportunities with a Reputable Company

A quick internet search will direct you to numerous articles highlighting the positive aspects of participating in paid clinical trials. Celerion is the first Clinical Research Organization (CRO) in the US to achieve certification by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs, Inc. (AAHRPP). That distinction assures volunteers, government regulators, researchers, and the public that our comprehensive protections for clinical trial participants exceed federal requirements.

How Participation in Celerion Clinical Trials Works

Regulatory agencies, including the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), require rigorous testing before over-the-counter and prescription medications are cleared for production. At Celerion, our investigations provide an unbiased assessment on behalf of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies enlisting our services.

During the first phase of a clinical trial, study participants are given a small dose of the medication being tested. The biological samples and other relevant data collected help researchers understand how that medication is stored, metabolized, and utilized in the body.

As a participant in one of our clinical studies, you're providing a valuable service to the medical research community and the patients who benefit from your contributions. In return, you'll have more cash in your pocket. But first, you'll need to complete the following steps.

Step 1: Create Your Online Profile

At Celerion, we offer two ways to get started. You can contact a live representative or create your profile online, the option most college students prefer. You'll be asked to provide your name, contact information, age, gender, race, ethnicity, and medical history.

Step 2: Review Upcoming Studies

When your profile is complete, go to the "Studies" page on our website to review the clinical trials available. You'll first see a general description. The arrows on the bottom-right corner of each posting will direct you to a detailed overview.

Step 3: Participate in a Health Screening

After selecting a study, you'll be asked to schedule an in-person screening that includes a physical exam and lab work. You'll learn the purpose of the medication being tested and its potential side effects. You'll also be notified of the date and time of your results call.

Step 4: Accept and Complete a Clinical Trial

You'll be notified when you've been selected for a study. Some last just a few days or require a weekend stay at our facility; others require a longer commitment. You can accept or decline. If at any time you choose not to continue with a clinical trial, you can withdraw your consent.

Step 5: Get Paid for Your Participation

Celerion clinical trial participants receive financial compensation through our Hyperwallet platform. You can have your payment transferred directly to your checking or savings account or choose one of several alternatives, including PayPal or MoneyGram.
