Study Needs Healthy Children

NICHD seeks healthy children 7 to 11 years old with above average weight to join in a research study. Researchers want to learn if breaking up sitting with short periods of activity improves children’s metabolism and attention. Six outpatient visits on consecutive days of about 3 hours each (Monday- Friday, early evening and Saturday morning) are required. Compensation will be provided. For more information, call 1-866-444-2214 (TTY 1-866-411-1010). Read more at https://go.usa.gov/xRPAg. Refer to study 17-CH-0130.

VRC Recruits Healthy Volunteers

Volunteers with Diarrhea Needed

The National Institute of Nursing Research invites volunteers of all ages experiencing diarrhea to participate in a research study. Many people suffer from diarrhea every year. In the United States, it leads to about 130,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths a year. Researchers want to test whether a research tool detects pathogens (for example bacteria) that cause diarrhea. The study involves one outpatient visit that may last 2-3 hours and stool sample collection. No compensation will be provided. All study-related tests will be provided at no charge. Parental consent is required for minors. For more information about study 18-NR-0040, call 1-866-444-2214 (TTY 1-866-411-1010) or visit https://go.usa.gov/xP7h5.
