However, little has been studied about the effects on research completion. Methods. A survey was sent to all registry investigators and coordinators to determine the cost of enrollment in a national registry, whether sites had to supplement using their own funds, and whether the cost affected enrollment. Results. Results indicate that a majority of sites supplemented enrollment with their own funding (88%) and diagnoses requiring a lot of time to enroll were avoided. Conclusion. This survey showed that reimbursement rates were well below the costs of enrollment. ER -
