Closed Studies
Since October 2008, we have supported more than 160 studies, connecting over 110,000 members with innovative research around the world. You may notice that study reports prior to 2020 mention the Army of Women or AOW. In 2020, after recognizing over 10 years as the Army of Women, we changed our name to Love Research Army to better reflect our longstanding commitment to fostering inclusive research.
While these research studies are always different, there is one common factor, which is our dedicated Love Research Army members. Thanks to the participation of our members, the following studies completed enrollment.
