How do I enroll in the Assessing Regenerative Treatments study?

Your participation in the Assessing Regenerative Treatments study is critical to the advancement of our understanding of aging. To protect your health data and make it easier for you to participate, Vitality in Aging Research Group has built our research project on REDCap (research electronic data capture), a secure, encrypted, online research platform.

If you select the enroll button below the link will take you to the Assessing Regenerative Treatments study on REDCap. There you will be presented with several forms to complete.

  • A registration form where you will provide your contact information
  • A prescreening form where you will be asked several yes or no questions to see if you qualify to participate in the study
  • An e-Consent form where you will receive more information about the study and if you choose, agree to participate in the study
  • An intake form where you will provide more information about yourself and your health, much like the forms you fill out when first going to a new doctor

Once you have completed your informed consent and intake form, you will receive a copy by email of your signed consent for your records.

Then, once a month (for 10 months of the year), you will receive an automated notification by email, with a link to complete your monthly questionnaire and then twice a year (every six months), you will receive an automated notification by email, with a link to complete your biannual questionnaire.

You will also be asked to upload any blood test results and/or anti-aging regenerative treatment records you may have.

Can I enroll in the Assessing Regenerative Treatments study if I live outside of the United States?

No. The Assessing Regenerative Treatments study is only enrolling citizens or residents of the United States.
