Have you have been diagnosed with a pancreatic cyst and are between the ages of 50 and 75 years old?
EA2185: Comparing the Clinical Impact of Pancreatic Cyst Surveillance Programs
If you have been diagnosed with a pancreatic cyst and are between the ages of 50 and 75 years old, you may be eligible to participate in a confidential research study. This study aims at comparing management strategies of newly diagnosed pancreatic cyst, which were found during a recent abdominal MRI or CT scan.
If you enroll, you will be assigned to one of the two standard follow-up screening groups. In both schedules, your cyst will be followed with imaging scans. The difference between the schedule is the frequency of the follow up scans. This study will evaluate which of the two standard follow-up screening schedules will lead to better outcomes for patients with pancreatic cysts. You would be asked to complete questionnaires after you are assigned to a group. At least once a year during your participation, we would contact you to inquire about your health, results of Imaging studies (MRI, CT, EUS), or other medical information.

Are you aged 50+ and had 1 or 2 non-cancerous (benign) growths of tissue (polyps) removed during a colonoscopy?
FORTE: A Colorectal Cancer Prevention Trial
If you have had 1 or 2 non-cancerous (benign) growths of tissue (polyps) removed during a colonoscopy and are at least 50 years old, you may be eligible to participate in a confidential research study. The study is being conducted to determine the best timing for a repeat colonoscopy for patients who have had 1 or 2 benign polyps removed during an initial colonoscopy
If you enroll, you would have either a colonoscopy at 10 years or at 5 years and at 10 years after your colonoscopy that found 1 or 2 small polyps. You would be asked to complete questionnaires and provide samples for future research. At least once a year during your participation, we would contact you to inquire about your health, results of colonoscopy exams, or other medical information. Your participation would end after you undergo the colonoscopy at 10 years. You may be contacted for up to 30 years after you join the study.
You will receive a stipend for each sample collection completed.

All of Us Research Program
The All of Us Research Program is a large research program. The goal is to help researchers understand more about why people get sick or stay healthy by creating a biorepository.
People who join will give us information about their health, habits, and what it’s like where they live. By looking for patterns, researchers may learn more about what affects people’s health. If you decide to join All of Us, we will ask you to share different kinds of information like your name and where you live, questions about your family, home, and work. If you have an Electronic Medical Record, we may ask you for access. We will also ask you to come in for physical measurements like, height, weight, hip and waist circumference, and blood pressure, and heart rate. We will also ask you to provide blood and urine samples, or saliva.
Total Compensation: $25
If interested, please email allofus@yale.edu or call 203-785-5977.

Brain Connections & HIV Study
You can play an important role in research by volunteering for a free and confidential study Yale is conducting to learn about changes in the brain. Our brains change as we age. Our brains also change with certain health conditions such as dementia. We are interested in looking at whether or not people with certain infectious diseases such as HIV have similar changes by looking at two different brain scans. Our hope is that this study leads to improved treatment for individuals with cognitive impairment living with HIV. Your privacy is of the upmost importance to us. Study procedures include: blood draws, a lumbar puncture (optional), EKG, MRI, PET scan, complete a set of memory tasks, health surveys and willingness to co-enroll in our Biobank study, HIC# 1502015318 (with separate compensation provided).
We are enrolling participants who are HIV negative (do not have HIV) OR living with HIV.
Compensation up to $1150.00 - $1700.00 for study completion (over 2 years).
If interested, contact Allison Nelson at 475-434-4324 or email: NeuroID@yale.edu for more information.
