Studies Actively Enrolling Participants

DCEG investigators are enrolling participants for population-based and family studies. Learn more about the research that is open to new participants. 

Connect for Cancer Prevention Study

The Connect for Cancer Prevention Study (Connect) is a research study to better understand the causes of cancer and how to prevent it. Participants who join Connect will help researchers study the health and behavior patterns that may affect cancer risk.

Together, we can change the future of cancer prevention.

Enroll Yourself or Your Family in a Clinical Study

A clinical study enrolls participants in research to add to medical knowledge. There are two types of clinical studies: clinical trials and observational studies.

DCEG scientists carry out observational studies in families with a known or suspected cancer predisposition syndrome, or families that have a higher-than-expected rate of cancer. In an observational clinical study, investigators assess health outcomes in groups of participants according to a protocol or research plan. Individuals and families agree to share information about their medical history and other information in order to expand our understanding of how cancer aggregates in families. Although some participants are seen at the NIH Clinical Center, DCEG clinical studies do not evaluate treatment or other interventions, as in a clinical trial.
