Free Research Recruitment and Publicity Support
The International Misophonia Foundation offers free assistance to researchers, universities, research organizations, and institutional communications teams seeking to share misophonia research with relevant audiences. We welcome contributions from researchers worldwide, regardless of institutional affiliation or theoretical approach.
How we can help
- Study recruitment: Share approved participant recruitment notices, eligibility criteria, study links, and researcher contact information so interested individuals can contact the research team directly.
- Research publicity: Review and share new publications, institutional press releases, research updates, and conference announcements through our public communications channels where relevant.
- Research discoverability: Add relevant publications to the searchable Misophonia Research Database and direct researchers toward the Researcher Directory and Research Organizations Directory.
- Educational resource sharing: Consider suitable public guides, educational resources, and research summaries for the IMF’s resource pages or an editorial feature.
There is no charge for these services. Submissions are reviewed for relevance and accuracy; publication or distribution is not guaranteed.
Submit a study or research announcement
To suggest an article or published study for the database, use our Submit Studies or Corrections form.
For study recruitment notices, press releases, resource submissions, or institutional publicity requests, email shaylynn@misophoniafoundation.com with the research team’s name and institution, a brief description, the relevant link or announcement, and a preferred public contact or recruitment URL. Please include the study’s ethics approval or exemption status and approved recruitment wording when applicable.
For studies recruiting participants
Research teams should supply their own approved recruitment materials, eligibility information, consent process, and contact or registration link. The Foundation can share these materials with interested audiences but does not independently verify eligibility or obtain consent on behalf of a study. Potential participants decide whether to contact researchers or enroll. The IMF does not share identifiable participant information with research teams without appropriate consent.
Individuals interested in hearing about research opportunities can learn more through our Research Participant Registry and Participating in Research resources.
Communication and collaboration
Institutional media relations teams, faculty, independent researchers, clinicians, and research organizations are welcome to contact us. We are happy to discuss appropriate ways to share research findings, recruitment opportunities, and publicly available educational resources.
