Can you promote in r/clinicalresearch?
Clinical research is a branch of healthcare science that determines the safety and effectiveness (efficacy) of medications, devices, diagnostic products, and treatment regimens intended for human use. These may be used for prevention, treatment, diagnosis or for relieving symptoms of a disease.
The short answer
Do not promote or recruit; if you want to engage, contribute non-promotional, high-effort answers and follow any megathread rules—avoid links or invitations to join services.
What works here
- answer topical clinical research questions
- provide educational, non-promotional information
- participate in community discussions per Reddiquette
What gets posts removed
- solicitation or recruiting participants
- posting promotional links (articles, trainings, webinars, websites)
- low-effort posts or off-topic promotion
