NIAID Clinics
HIV and Emerging Infectious Diseases
NIAID and the NIH Warren G. Magnuson Clinical Center conduct clinical research on HIV infection, chronic viral hepatitis (hepatitis B and C), other immunologic disorders, and emerging infectious diseases.
Laboratory of Infectious Diseases
The NIAID Laboratory of Infectious Diseases (LID) has a long history of discovering new agents of viral diseases and developing innovative vaccines and treatments such as FluMist, a nasal spray influenza vaccine; Synagis, a preventative treatment for respiratory syncytial virus; and Havrix, a hepatitis A vaccine licensed by GlaxoSmithKline.
NIAID Primary Immune Deficiency Clinic
The NIAID Primary Immune Deficiency (PID) Clinic is located at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center and is dedicated to research on the more than 200 forms of primary immune deficiency diseases affecting approximately 500,000 people in the United States.
Vaccine Research Center Clinical Studies
At the Vaccine Research Center (VRC), we conduct clinical research studies that are vital to developing vaccines that ease human suffering, can potentially prevent a pandemic, and in many cases, save lives. We work closely with volunteers in our clinical studies to evaluate vaccines against diseases such as HIV/AIDS, Ebola, flu, and others.
Volunteer for COVID-19 Clinical Trials
NIAID is conducting and supporting clinical trials evaluating therapies and vaccine candidates against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), as well as studies of people who have recovered from infection.
What Is It Like To Participate?
Based on my personal experiences, I encourage people to look into the clinical trials at the VRC. You really cannot ask for nicer or more dedicated and knowledgeable staff than those at the VRC, and they appreciate all of their volunteers. Give it a shot and be a part of something truly important!

Information For Researchers
NIAID Clinical Trials Data Repository, AccessClinicalData@NIAID, is an NIAID cloud-based, secure data platform that enables sharing of and access to anonymized individual, patient level clinical data sets from NIAID sponsored clinical trials to harness the power of data to generate new knowledge to understand, treat, and prevent infectious diseases such as COVID-19.
