Sponsors fund research on exactly the patients you already see. Connect your records once, tell us which kinds of study you want, and we pay you for the data access you provide and any additional work a study asks of your practice.
Ten minutes of an administrator’s time. We deal with your EHR vendor and do the integration ourselves.
Most research never reaches community practices because it arrives as work. This does not.
Your practice
ResearchSpan
Change any figure and the arithmetic updates. We would rather you argued with the inputs than trusted our marketing.
Arithmetic, not a forecast — and the rate is one you typed, not one we quoted. No guarantee, and no downside if the answer is zero: you are never billed for anything.
You never read a protocol. Whatever the science, the request that reaches you is one of these five. We are not paying you for patients — we pay for data access, clinician oversight, and any additional work a study asks of your staff.
| What the study asks of you | What the payment covers | How it is priced |
|---|---|---|
| R1 Records only | Data access and extraction support. No patient contact. | Flat fee per study |
| R2 A blood draw at a routine visit | Chair time, phlebotomy support, specimen handling. | Per participant |
| R3 At a scheduled procedure | Kit hand-off, coordination, specimen handling. | Per participant |
| R4 An app or device at home | Clinician oversight, onboarding, follow-up queries. | Per participant |
| R5 A dedicated visit | Clinic time, premises, and staff time. | Per visit |
We do not publish rates: a number on a website is meaningless without the work behind it. Each is set against a fair-market-value assessment and shown to you itemised before you approve anything. No exclusivity, no minimum, no penalty for declining.
Two gates, and you set both: what data can be seen, and which studies can run.
The data
The studies
We sign a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement before anything connects. Studies are overseen by a central ethics board, and every patient gives their own informed consent. Your patients are never contacted about a study you have not approved.
The six questions practices ask before they say yes.
Yes. We sign a Business Associate Agreement with you before anything connects, and act only under your authorisation. Identifiable information stays inside your systems, only the specific de-identified elements a study names ever leave, and no patient takes part without giving their own informed consent.
Trained research coordinators, by phone and text, in your practice’s name and following scripts you can review beforehand. Depending on the study they are our own staff or a coordination partner working to our standards — either way they operate under our agreement with you, and we remain accountable to you. Your front desk is never asked to explain a study, take consent, or chase anyone.
For services, not for patients. Access to the data a study needs, the clinician oversight the protocol requires, and any additional work it asks of your staff. Rates are set against a fair-market-value assessment and are never a fee for referring or introducing a patient.
Usually nothing beyond the initial decision to take part. A small number of studies need a clinician named as local investigator; we prepare everything for that and it is paid time.
Disconnect whenever you like. Access ends immediately, there are no minimums and no penalty, and you keep whatever you have already earned.
Nothing, at any point. No fee, no subscription, no software to buy. We are paid by the research sponsor, and we pay you.
Your part is a form and a few decisions. Connecting to your EHR runs through your vendor — that part is ours to chase, not yours. Nothing here commits you to anything.
