Join Actively Recruiting Research Studies

We are actively recruiting participants through the COPD Foundation for the following projects:

Become Physically Active Through Walking

Mindful Steps

Exercise doesn't have to be a chore. Walking can become a gift you give yourself every day.

Researchers are studying whether they can help you stay active and increase your steps through an online walking program for people with a chronic heart and/or lung condition, such as COPD or heart failure.

People who take part and complete the study may receive:

  • Access to online mind-body exercise classes promoting physical activity and daily walking
  • Up to $200 in compensation
  • Fitbit Inspire 3 smartwatch

Take the Survey: Exploring the Unmet Needs of Patients with Serious Respiratory Illness and Their Caregivers

Exploring the Unmet Needs of Patients

Whether you are a person living with a respiratory illness or caring for someone who is, your perspective makes a real difference. Living with these conditions can be challenging, and the voices of patients and caregivers are important. By taking part in this survey, you help others understand what kinds of care and support matter most. The information you share will help doctors, nurses, and health leaders improve respiratory care around the world.

The survey should take about 20 minutes to complete, and it’s best to finish it in one sitting.

Join the COPD Foundation Patient-Powered Research Network (PPRN)

The COPD PPRN is a network of individuals with COPD who have agreed to share their health information and the impact the disease has on their lives. Operated by the COPD Foundation and governed by groups of patients and their partners, the information you provide is kept in a secure database to be used for research - ultimately leading to a deeper understanding of the disease.
