Why research applications get rejected

Common, normal reasons a provider may decline an application and what to do next.

The quota is already full

Researchers often need a limited mix of ages, locations or behaviours. A suitable participant can still arrive after a segment closes.

Your profile is outside the target

A rejection usually reflects the study design rather than the quality of your answers.

Consistency beats perfection

Keep applying to well-matched opportunities and maintain an accurate profile instead of trying to force eligibility.
