I became disabled in 2008, and I felt pretty lousy about it for several years, like I couldn’t contribute
anything anymore. Then I heard about Research Match and joined in 2014. Since then I have completed surveys
online and taken part in telephone and Zoom-based research interviews about everything from chronic pain and
its relation to romantic relationships to Covid and its impact on my mental health. I have traveled to two
universities to help graduate students with their studies. I have even slept under a weighted blanket and worn a
fitness watch to see if those blankets help people with chronic pain sleep better. In other words I feel useful!
I feel I still make a difference to students and researchers, doctors and patients like me.
Thank you, Research Match!

I have really enjoyed my work and association with Research Match very much.
It has been rewarding for me and stimulating, too. I feel I have made good contributions.
I can't say I have had much luck with clinical in-person direct participation research.
I have volunteered on several occasions but have not been selected.
I feel confident that my data is safely stored by research match so I look forward to more assignments
and research opportunities.

This pandemic has been very hard on me, I have had multiple health conditions
in my life and those who volunteered before me helped me manage my health conditions
today and are helping us get out of this pandemic. I am happy to
be a part of this.
