Finding Trials For Healthy Volunteers in Missouri

A lot of residents may not realize it, but there are ample opportunities in clinical research for paid clinical trials throughout Missouri. You can participate in important clinical research for money, help supplement your existing income, and play a real part in medical breakthroughs that could bring relief throughout the world. Our website provides regularly-updated data on available clinical studies across the state. There are quite a few to choose from; over a thousand of which are in Missouri. 

Data indicates clinical trials require 1 out of 200 Americans to be involved nationally. A 2020 population census estimated Missouri’s total population at around 6.2 million. That has likely increased, as, in the last several years, many people have moved to new communities across the country; most notably in states like Missouri. There’s a need for existing medical infrastructure required to serve expanding population, and the potential for 31,000+ opportunities to participate in clinical trials (taking the statistics at face value). The facts bear this out. Organizations exist that have as an express goal the bettering of local health and economy in Missouri through medical advances; you can read more about that here.

Where Clinical Research Opportunities Are Growing

An indicator of the sort of CROs, or Clinical Research Organizations, that are conducting paid studies will in some ways be related to Missouri’s demographics. Age and ethnic background play a part in which studies are locally produced. To determine what clinical trial sponsors are most likely to have local studies, you need to know the state’s demographic makeup.

In Missouri, the 2020 census revealed Caucasians make up 61.6% of the population, with black communities comprising 12.4%, Hispanics at 18.7%, and Asians at 6%. Additional stats from ACL.gov (available in this .PDF) indicate that since 2010, over a third of the population is older than 50, more than 20% are over 60, 1 in 10 are over 70, and around 4% are over 80. Since over half the population has surpassed the age of fifty, you can expect many clinical trial sponsors to seek participants who fit this demographic.

We have compiled the following list of paid clinical trials for healthy volunteers, and click the Search All button at the bottom to find more:

A Maturing Population

With an elderly population primarily Caucasian, the preponderance of medical research will involve conditions related to aging and ethnically-centered medical issues. Paid research will require healthy volunteers among the 60%+ of the population that is more mature, which is good news regarding income supplementation.

Many seniors are on a fixed income. With medical research studies, they can take full advantage of opportunities in paid clinical trials for healthy volunteers. They can help advance medicine and expand their own resources simultaneously.
