What we’ll ask you
You're the human face of the research to the public. The boundaries matter as much as the warmth. Everyone also answers a few shared questions on research integrity and why this work. You answer these in your private portal after verifying your email — a reviewer reads them, and they’re never scored by a machine.
- How do you build trust and recruit honestly in a community without ever pressuring, over-promising, or giving medical advice?
- A community member asks whether the herb being studied will help their condition. What exactly do you say?
- How do you make sure the people you reach actually understand what they're signing up for?
- Describe community, outreach, advocacy, or education work you're proud of — especially across language or access barriers. (optional)
Never upload Social Security numbers, tax or bank details, or patient records. Herbal Trials does not sell supplements, make efficacy claims, or provide medical advice, and does not endorse any substance. Candidate substances remain unverified until studied.
