## TL;DR

Be Part of Research is the UK's free service for finding trials near you; taking part in NHS trials costs nothing and expenses are often paid.

## Summary

Be Part of Research is run by the National Institute for Health and Care Research. Anyone can search studies by condition and postcode, or register to be contacted when a matching study opens. In the UK, taking part in an NHS-hosted trial is free, the study drug is supplied by the sponsor, and most trials reimburse reasonable travel costs, which the study team will state. It complements ClinicalTrials.gov, where every trial on OnCo is linked.
