Study Summary

The Benaroya Research Institute Autoimmune Registry (BRIAR) is a voluntary registry for individuals interested in participating in autoimmune disease research. Whether you live with an autoimmune condition, have a family member who does, or would like to be a healthy control volunteer, joining BRIAR helps advance scientific understanding and supports the development of future treatments.

By enrolling, you will provide basic health information that helps us match you to current and future studies, and you will receive periodic research updates from Benaroya Research Institute (BRI). All the information you provide will be kept confidential and participation in future studies is always voluntary.

Eligibility Criteria

You are eligible to join BRIAR if you have any of the following:

  • a personal history of one or more autoimmune/immune-mediated condition(s)
  • a healthy immune system, without any autoimmune/immune-mediated conditions
  • a family history of one or more autoimmune/immune-mediated condition(s)

Parents or legal guardians may register on behalf of a child under age 18.

What will study participants be asked to do?

Joining BRIAR involves two simple steps:

  1. Review and complete the informed consent form online. If you would prefer to complete an informed consent form on paper, please contact us.
  2. Complete a brief survey regarding your:
    • contact information
    • demographic background
    • personal history of autoimmune conditions (if any)
    • family history of autoimmune conditions (if any)

Once registered in BRIAR, your information may be used to match you with future research opportunities for which you are eligible, and you’ll receive periodic research updates from BRI.

If you are potentially eligible for a specific study, we will reach out, provide you with additional information, and talk with you about next steps. As with all clinical research, participation is always voluntary.
