Important partnership information for students, clinicians, and researchers:

Iʼm a student / clinician / researcher and I'd like to post a link on your site to my survey for a research project, is that OK? 

As per our terms of service, you are not permitted post links to surveys and cannot solicit members for participation in any projects. In addition, you are not permitted to collect data from our site for a project without going through our Research Team. 

We prefer to be active collaborators in the implementation of the research protocols for any projects that we ask for patient participation. When we do agree to external projects, there is typically a subcontract arrangement. 

How can I learn more about collaborating on research with PatientsLikeMe? 

We are always interested in learning about innovative collaborations.  If you are a researcher or clinician and have a well-defined line of research questioning with a funding source (such as a grant mechanism or commercial source) identified, you can reach out to our research team at research@patientslikeme.com 

Please note that under our terms of service, you are not permitted to capture or utilize any data from within the site, nor to solicit members through our group discussions, private messages or any other social space on PLM to take part in your study.  

If you are interested in a non-research partnership Please contact us and we'd be happy to help.
