Featured Studies

Researchers at National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center are recruiting healthy adults, ages 18-50, to undergo an initial assessment to determine if they will qualify for future malaria studies. These future studies may involve evaluation of experimental medications, vaccines, and vaccine strategies to prevent malaria.

Are you interested in being part of a study that explores the patterns of brain activity that exist during sleep? Researchers at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy adult volunteers for a research study using MRI to study brain activity in adults while they sleep.

The NIH is seeking children ages 2 and older with a history of eczema to participate in a study to identify better ways to diagnose food allergies. Participants do not need to have food allergies. Through this study, we hope to improve the ways food allergies are diagnosed and managed in children with eczema. Participants will not be charged for any service offered, including medications, and medical insurance is not required.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy volunteers to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to better understand how pain and emotions are processed in the human brain and influence by psychological factors. This is an outpatient study that may involve moderate but tolerable pain (while having an MRI). Researchers are studying how thoughts, feeling, and learning influence pain and perception.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health seek healthy volunteers to participate in a research study. The purpose of this study is to test newly developed functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scanning sequences that can be used in future protocols.

The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland is conducting a study for vasculitis. Researchers are inviting both volunteers who have the condition, and those who do not, to participate in this study. All study-related tests and procedures are provided at no cost to you.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek participants age five and older with childhood-onset brain injury (e.g.,cerebral palsy) to join a research study. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and/or electroencephalography (EEG) may be used to study brain activity. Learning how the brain controls muscles may help design treatments to help patients with brain injury to move better.
