Why Volunteer

Clinical studies are vital to developing new vaccines and treatments that ease human suffering and save lives. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is constantly looking for healthy people (ages 18 to 70) who are willing to volunteer their time and work closely with us to evaluate new treatments and prevention methods. When you volunteer, you do the following:

  • Help people who are suffering from chronic, serious, or life-threatening illnesses
  • Contribute to the advancement of medicine
  • Provide researchers with important scientific information in a safe and confidential environment
  • Receive financial compensation for your time

Featured Clinical Studies

Eosinophilic Esophagitis Study

Eosinophilic esophagitis (EE) can make swallowing difficult and cause multiple food allergies. If you have been diagnosed with EE and are at least 18 years old, you may be eligible to participate in a research study.

HIV+ Long-Term Non-Progressor Study

Some people with HIV have immune systems that can control the infection without medication. If you are one of these people, volunteer to help researchers learn about how the immune system controls HIV infection.

Vaccine Research

Healthy volunteers can help the NIAID Vaccine Research Center (VRC) evaluate vaccines against HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and other diseases.
