Featured Studies

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek healthy volunteers 21 - 65 years of age to participate in a study researching if alcohol dependence and early life stress affect the ability to learn to feel calm. All study-related tests and procedures are provided at no cost to the study participant. Compensation may be provided.

If you or someone you know is drinking too much, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) may be able to help. We conduct studies on how alcohol affects the body and are looking for new ways to treat alcohol problems.

Doctors at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are enrolling people with LAM into a research study. LAM is a rare progressive lung disease that usually strikes women during their childbearing years, between the onset of puberty and menopause. One possible treatment to improve breathing in patients with LAM is inhaled albuterol. Albuterol can be given using a hand held inhaler or with a nebulizer. The study wants to compare these methods to see which method improves lung function in patients with LAM.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Clinical Center seek healthy women to participate in a research study. Doctors want to learn how the body burns energy at different temperatures. Compensation is provided.

Diets worldwide include both processed and unprocessed foods. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland seek adult volunteers between 18-60 years old to participate in a study examining how processed and unprocessed foods affect metabolic health.

Researchers want to see if they can measure the amount of anti-cancer drug, Abemaciclib in a brain tumor and brain fluid after a patient has taken this drug for a few days. These findings can help explain how much drug gets into the brain and how drugs work to shrink high grade gliomas to improve outcomes for these patients.
