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

Volunteer to help researchers evaluate the safety of Poly-ICLC, a nasal medication that is being studied for its ability to prevent infections from influenza and other viruses.
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.
Healthy volunteers can help the NIAID Vaccine Research Center (VRC) evaluate vaccines against HIV/AIDS, Ebola, and other diseases. |
