For nearly two decades, OCD Action has been facilitating research. Our Executive Committee and Patrons include some of the worlds’ leading specialists on OCD and have participated in many such projects. On these pages, we have posted calls for research volunteers to allow interested parties to come together to increase our understanding of OCD.
If you are a student or professional who is undertaking a research project, and you would like us to list your project, please contact us to discuss your request.
