Building a new recruitment strategy for your AD/ADRD clinical trial? Or has your current recruitment funnel stagnated? Connect for a free consultation to learn about recruitment consulting from Splaine Consulting.

 

For over a decade Mike Splaine and team, under the brand of Recruitment Partners, have supported academic researchers, product companies, and industry sponsors in developing recruitment strategy for funding applications, as well as stalled clinical trials.  

 

To complement the recruitment funnel, Mike and colleagues created Aging Research Navigators, a standalone program specializing in reaching older adults and family caregivers to engage in dementia and caregiving research programs that fit their lives. Our Navigator program connects with people across the dementia spectrum, from newly diagnosed patients who are overwhelmed at what might lie ahead, to the friends and family members who want to build their coping skills and practical skills. Armed with a menu approach to study matching, our goal is to make sure every interested person finds a study that is right for them, including healthy adults who want to contribute.

 

What could your recruitment contract include?

• Refinement of Study Messaging & Materials
  Field testing and revision of your study’s promotional materials to incorporate plain-language messaging, culturally relevant examples, relatable imagery, and trust-building language that resonates with individuals and families across the dementia journey.
• Barrier Identification & Protocol Review
  Strategic review of your study protocol, screening process, and participation requirements to identify and remove unnecessary barriers that could limit enrollment, including literacy challenges, transportation, digital access, and caregiver burden.
• Community Engagement Strategy & Network Building
  Development, expansion, and management of local, regional, and national networks of community partners, including adult day programs, senior living communities, caregiver organizations, geriatric clinicians, and dementia support nonprofits, to amplify your recruitment efforts.
• Events, Outreach, & Research Education
  Planning and hosting virtual research education events with trusted community partners to introduce the study, answer questions, and create meaningful touchpoints with individuals and families considering participation.
• Aging Research Navigator Support
  Access to Aging Research Navigators trained in the Community Research Liaison (CRL) model to provide one-on-one education to research-curious individuals, offer early prescreening, and deliver encrypted pre-screening summaries directly to study coordinators.
• Ongoing Recruitment Coaching & Troubleshooting
  Regular check-ins to troubleshoot emerging barriers, review referral data, optimize strategies, and ensure recruitment progress stays aligned with your targets and timelines.

 

If your study is preparing to launch or already struggling to meet enrollment goals, you don’t have to navigate the recruitment landscape alone. Splaine Consulting offers practical, community-grounded strategies backed by real-world results in AD/ADRD research.
