Access New Treatment Options for Bipolar Disorder at No Cost.
Join our fully funded research study evaluating a promising new approach to managing bipolar symptoms. Participants receive comprehensive care and financial compensation.
You Deserve More Than “Just Getting By”
Bipolar disorder is more than mood swings — it involves episodes of mania marked by elevated or euphoric moods, and episodes of deep depression marked by intense sadness and hopelessness. Managing these extremes is challenging, and if current treatments haven’t brought enough stability, clinical research may offer a meaningful next step.
Access Care at No Cost to You
Eligible participants may receive investigational medication, psychiatric evaluations with a board-certified mental health provider, and ongoing study monitoring — all at no cost, plus compensation for your time and travel.
The Process Is Simple and Confidential
A short 5-minute phone screening is all it takes to find out if you qualify. There’s no obligation to participate, and everything is private. If eligible, you’ll be guided through each step at our Orlando research clinic.

Step 3 — Participate in the Study
Qualified participants receive investigational medication and ongoing monitoring throughout the study — at no cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? You’re not alone. Here are answers to some of the things people ask most before deciding to get screened.
What is a clinical research study?
A clinical research study evaluates investigational medications or treatment approaches to better understand their safety and effectiveness. Participants play a direct role in advancing medical knowledge and may benefit from access to new treatments before they are widely available.
Who is eligible to participate?
Eligibility is open to children and adolescents who have been diagnosed with Bipolar I or Bipolar II disorder and experience mood swings between elevated and depressed moods. Specific criteria vary by study and are determined during the screening process.
Is there any cost to participate?
No. Eligible participants receive study-related care, psychiatric evaluations, and investigational medication at no cost for the duration of the study.
Will I be compensated?
Yes. Participants receive compensation for their time and travel to cover the commitment involved in attending study visits.
What if my child is already taking medication for bipolar disorder?
Your child’s current medications will be reviewed during the screening and clinical evaluation. Eligibility depends on the specific study, and a board-certified psychiatrist will help determine the safest path forward.
Is my information kept private?
Yes. All personal and medical information is kept strictly confidential in accordance with HIPAA regulations and ethical research standards.
Can we leave the study at any time?
Absolutely. Participation is completely voluntary and you may withdraw at any point without penalty or impact to any other care your child is receiving.
Where are the study visits held?
All study visits take place at our research clinic in Orlando, Florida. Our team will provide you with all location and scheduling details after your screening.
What happens if my child experiences side effects?
Your child’s health and safety are the top priority throughout the study. Our medical team monitors all participants closely, and any side effects are evaluated and addressed promptly by our clinical staff.
What happens after the study ends?
At the conclusion of the study, our team will discuss next steps with you and can help connect you with appropriate resources or ongoing care options based on your child’s individual needs.
