Everyone is welcome.

Encourage others to join!

Researchers are interested in individuals suffering from specific illnesses as well as healthy individuals who can act as “controls” or reference points. Thus, even if you are in good health, we encourage you to sign up for OMF’s StudyME to support patient communities and promote scientific research.

Please note that each study will have specific eligibility criteria set by the researchers themselves. Our role is simply to connect interested participants with research teams to accelerate progress in these areas.

No personal medical information is required! All that is needed is your contact information and areas of research interest, and you’re all set. Contact StudyME@omf.ngo with questions.

Disclaimer

Please note that by registering for StudyME, you are opting in to receive email communications from Open Medicine Foundation (OMF) regarding research studies that match your interests. These studies may be conducted by third parties (like universities or doctors) that are not affiliated with nor funded by OMF as well as OMF funded studies. 

The safety and scientific validity of each study is the sole responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. The listing of a study does not imply that it has been evaluated, verified, or endorsed by OMF. 

The information on OMF’s StudyME is provided by study sponsors and investigators, and they are responsible for ensuring that their study follows all applicable laws and regulations in the study location. StudyME participants are responsible for doing their own due diligence to make sure that a research study that they wish to be a part of follows the local laws in the location where they reside, including, but not limited to, the protection of medical records, data privacy, expert supervision, etc. 

It is important to consider all options before deciding to participate in a study and it is recommended that individuals speak with their healthcare provider to determine if it is appropriate for them. StudyME is simply listing opportunities for research studies. Applying for a research study does not guarantee acceptance to participate; acceptance is solely up to the investigator of that particular study.

OMF Australia accepts donations of Cryptocurrencies

Make the most of your donation by donating your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies directly to OMF Australia rather than selling and donating the after-tax proceeds.

  • Your tax deduction will be equal to the fair market value of the donated cryptocurrency (as determined by a qualified appraisal).
  • Donors should consult with a tax advisor for properly recording this donation on a personal tax return.


OMF Australia can accept cryptocurrency donations of any amount. 

Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support your favorite cause. If you want to learn more about how donating crypto can lower your taxes, check out thegivingblock.com/faq.

Talk to a crypto-savvy tax professional or connect with The Giving Block to get connected with one.

We accept the following cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Zcash (ZEC), Gemini Dollar (GUSD), Basic Attention Token (BAT), Chainlink (LINK), 0x (ZRX), Storj (STORJ), Dai (DAI), Amp (AMP), The Graph (GRT), UMA (UMA), 1inch (1INCH).
