Volunteers are being sought to take part in the drive to discover a vaccine against Covid-19.
The Public Health Agency say the new vaccine research registry will help large numbers of people to be recruited into trials over the coming months.
It has been developed as part of the UK Government’s Vaccine Taskforce, which includes the Northern Ireland, Scottish and Welsh Governments.
It is understood UK Ministers hope to get 500,000 people signed up by October.
Researchers are looking for people from all backgrounds and ages, including both people with or without existing health conditions, to take part in vaccine studies, to make sure that any vaccines developed will work for everyone.
Health Minister Robin Swann said: “It is vital that the people of Northern Ireland play their part in this important initiative.
"I would like everyone to consider signing up to this register so that researchers and the public here can contribute to the global effort to find a vaccine for Covid-19 and help save lives in the future.”
