Volunteer to Participate in Research
Participate as a student with our LIVELab and MIMM researchers. Join our LIVEPeople database. When you qualify for a study, you will be contacted and given more details about the research project.
Your confidentiality will be respected and no information that discloses your identity will be released or published unless required by law. Your information will remain on a secure server in the McMaster LIVELab that can only be accessed by a research participant coordinator or technical director. When you participate in a study, no personal information is shared with researchers and you will only be identified by anonymous codes. You can withdraw from a research study at any time even if you have already provided consent. The participant pool for LIVELab has been reviewed and cleared by the McMaster Research Ethics Board.
