Register Your Research

As part of our effort to advance a common understanding of the challenges faced by caregivers and advocate for improvements in informal caregiving, Family Caregiver Alliance helps professional and graduate student researchers by listing their surveys, studies and clinical trials.

Please see all current studies below.

Professional Research

FCA’s Research Registry offers a professional listing of publicly and privately supported surveys, studies and clinical trials of interest to caregiving families dealing with chronic disabling health conditions, and health and service providers. Volunteers are often needed to determine whether experimental treatments or new ways of using known therapies are safe and effective under controlled environments or to gather data that can expand knowledge and ultimately improve the lives of caregivers. We encourage you to read our fact sheet, Evaluating Medical Research Trials and Clinical Trials, and discuss participation in any trials or research studies with your personal physician. Endorsement of studies by Family Caregiver Alliance is neither expressed nor implied.

See our current list of professional research studies.

Graduate Student Research

In order to help further the field of caregiver research and advocacy and encourage emerging researchers, we also provide a page for graduate students to post research questions or links to surveys for research projects on caregiving. These postings are free of charge, but should you be able to make a contribution, a donation would be greatly appreciated.
