Post a Research Study

CHADD's Professional Advisory Board Research Subcommittee must approve any and all requests from researchers seeking study participants through CHADD. This approval is required both for studies requesting to be posted on the CHADD Web site, as well as studies requesting to seek participants through a  CHADD Local Chapter. 

The following criteria will be used to determine if research requests are meritorious:

1. Proposed study has scientific integrity.
2. Proposed study does not harm the mission of CHADD.
3. If externally funded, proposed study is federally funded or funded through a private, non-profit foundation.

Note: CHADD is unable to consider for review research proposals that are undertaken independently and without institutional affiliation.

Requests to post research studies must contain the following:

1. 1-2 page overview and purpose of the study;
2. Letter of acceptance from funding agency;
3. Letter of approval from Institutional Review Board (IRB) for the Protection of Human Subjects
4. Consent forms for participation;
5. Curriculum vitae of investigator(s);
6. Once approved, the following will be needed for the "Research Study Details" page:
   1. Date after which new study participants will no longer be accepted;
   2. Contact name, with email address and/or phone number;
   3. Brief description of study (250 words or less). 

Please submit this information by email to:  Tim MacGeorge (tim_macgeorge@chadd.org)

This process will take 4-6 weeks. Once your information has been reviewed, you will receive notice of the acceptance or rejection of your submission.

CHADD policy prohibits the endorsement by CHADD or any CHADD Chapter of any publication, product, service or treatment.
