Volunteers Needed for Microbiome Study

Healthy volunteers 18-60 years old are needed for a new study investigating how changes in our diet can affect our intestinal microorganisms. The CLEAN-MED diet intervention study of the gut microbiome is a new study that wants to see the changes in the environment in the intestine. Participants will keep detailed food logs, and provide stool, urine and blood samples throughout the study. Options include a 9-week study or a year-long study.

Healthy Volunteers Needed for Universal Flu Vaccine Study

NIAID researchers seek healthy volunteers 18 to 50 years old to participate in a universal influenza (flu) vaccine study. Scientists are testing an investigational flu vaccine (Flu-Mos v1) to determine safety and tolerability. There is no risk of infection from participation, as the investigational product does not contain any flu virus. Financial compensation is provided. Contact the Office of Patient Recruitment at (866) 444-2214 (TTY users dial 711) or ccopr@nih.gov. Refer to study #000410-I. Online: https://bit.ly/3QfIqWf.
