The Cost of Putting an End to Endo

Conducted by Juneau Biosciences, LLC      Español       Site map      Contact us

As you can see, regardless of whether or not a study kit is returned, we invest nearly $1,250 in each enrolled participant right from the start.

Unfortunately, there are hundreds of women enrolled in the Genetic Endometriosis Research Study to whom a kit was sent but who never returned it.  These unreturned kits represent a great deal of lost time and money, as well as an unwanted delay in the disease gene discovery process.

We are fully committed to and deeply invested in every participant. You can help us make the most of each research dollar by remaining committed to us and investing a few minutes of your time to completing and returning your study kit.

In order for Juneau Biosciences to continue to conduct efficient and effective research, we must do our best to minimize the significant costs associated with participation of those enrolled in our studies.  Each study kit that we mail to participants requires a substantial financial investment from Juneau.


To illustrate, a conservative estimate of the cost of handling a single enrollment is broken down in the table below.
