Look at how much human research we do at Stony Brook! On the day of 01 October 2021, we had all these studies open – many needing volunteers to participate. Every month, new studies open as other studies become finished.
The blue table shows studies more likely to be medically-related. The green table shows our other exciting areas of research, such as Politics or Psychology

Why Diversity Matters in Research
We need to include volunteers from different ethnicities, races, age groups, and genders when we are testing new treatment ideas so we can be sure the treatments are safe and work well for us all. Did you know that some treatments work differently in people based on their age, gender, race, or ethnicity? Researchers need know how the new treatments will impact ALL people who might one day use them.
