About the study

The purpose of the INSPIRE registry study is to collect blood or other biological samples, medical information and laboratory data from healthy individuals and those who have been diagnosed with a variety of medical conditions. The samples and medical information will be used to solve important research questions, including determining best medical practices for predicting, preventing and treating diseases.

To date, we have had over 30,000 individuals sign up to be part of INSPIRE. Based on their participation, we have been able to use the data and samples in over 250 independent research studies. These critical projects include the following:

  • Evaluating genetic causes of disease
  • Creating personalized treatment options
  • Understanding how our environment, sun exposure, and pollution can impact disease
  • Determining behaviors and lifestyles that can prevent disease

Participation in the Intermountain INSPIRE Registry is voluntary. All individuals age 18 and over are invited to learn more.

Registries are critical for medical research

Research is rapidly changing the way medical care is provided. Biological samples and medical information from the INSPIRE registry will be used for research now and in the future.This resource has the potential to assist many researchers throughout Intermountain Health and around the world. Our goal is to improve the lives of our patients now and for many years to come.

The information and biological samples are used in a variety of medical conditions. Some of the INSPIRE Registry research projects include:

  • Research into genetic and environmental causes of disease
  • Evaluation of various risk factors known to cause and accelerate health problems
  • Research into behaviors and lifestyles that can prevent disease
  • Determining the relationship between biological factors and medical treatment responses

Frequently asked questions

Learn more about the study.

Participation in this study is voluntary. If you chose to sign up for INSPIRE, you will be asked to provide a blood sample, answer questions about your personal and family health history, allow researchers to use your medical information, and provide permission to be contacted regarding future research opportunities. You will not undergo any experimental procedures. You will not be required to return for any additional clinic visits.

After you register, you will be contacted to arrange your blood draw.

You may be asked to complete personal and family health history questionnaires. These questionnaires are anticipated not to take more than one hour to complete.

After you donate your blood samples to INSPIRE, you do not have to come back for additional testing.

This is a minimal risk study.

There is only one blood draw required for participation. The risk for this blood draw is the same as any other blood draw. There are no research-specific medications or other procedures. Your health information will be obtained from your medical records (if available) or may be asked of you directly.

There are no expected personal benefits for participating in this research. However, if the researchers/investigators are successful in determining causes, prevention strategies and treatments, such discoveries may benefit others in the future.

No, there are no investigational drugs in this study.

INSPIRE will be ongoing indefinitely.

Yes. This study is in need of healthy people and people who have been diagnosed with health issues. 

There are no costs to participate. The study will pay for the blood draw. You will not be compensated for participation.

Information from your medical record will be used for this research.
