Dear Research Colleagues,
As a reminder, all research studies that are IRB approved and are currently recruiting are able to promote their study for a limited time. Previously this functionality was only available to actively recruiting studies in OnCore.
Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with this summary document as it highlights specific details and how the Research Studies administrative tool can be updated appropriately.
If you are looking to recruit participants to your research study, and your study is currently listed on the Research Studies website we encourage you to submit a request to feature your study in an upcoming newsletter.
Feel free to email researchstudies@cuanschutz.edu if you have any questions.
Featured Recruitment Studies
Using Oscillometry in Toddler Aerodigestive Patients to Monitor Lung Function Response to Treatment
We are seeking healthy controls between the ages of 18 months-6 years to participate in our study. Volunteers will perform a breathing test called oscillometry using three unique mouthpieces.

Inhaled Cannabis, Oxidative Stress and the Pulmonary Innate Immune Response
We are studying what chronic marijuana smoking does to lung health, comparing those who use marijuana to those who do not. Participation involves a thorough pulmonary evaluation by a lung physician by physical exam, chest x-ray, spirometry and bronchoscopy. Volunteers should be between ages 27-55, have no history of heavy alcohol or other recreational drug abuse and no chronic medical conditions.
Colorado Alcohol Research Consortium
We are examining the effects of heavy alcohol and tobacco use on the development of pneumonia and serious pulmonary disease. Participation involves a thorough pulmonary evaluation by a lung physician by physical exam, chest x-ray, spirometry and bronchoscopy. We are looking for control participants: volunteers should be between ages 30-55, have no history of heavy alcohol or recreational drug abuse and no chronic medical conditions.
VR Mindfulness to Reduce Stress and Promote Wellbeing
The National Mental Health Innovation Center is recruiting up to 75 students, residents, fellows at CU Anschutz to participate in the study. Participants will be provided with Oculus Quest or Oculus Quest 2 VR headsets for the duration of the evaluation period (8-weeks).

Male Contraceptive Gel
Are you interested in a new male birth control? We are seeking couples for a male birth control gel study.
Birth Control Hormonal Pill Study
This study is studying the effects of the birth control pills with similar hormones already available by prescription.
