NIAAA invites volunteers ages 21-60 to participate in a study researching whether a nicotine receptor gene affects drinking. Volunteers should be healthy, drug-free and not seeking treatment for alcohol-related problems. Research participation includes three outpatient visits that consist of alcohol consumption, brain scans (MRI), blood draws and filling out questionnaires. There is no cost to participate and compensation up to $480 may be provided. To learn more, contact the Clinical Center Office of Patient Recruitment at (866) 444-2214 (TTY users dial 711) or ccopr@nih.gov. Refer to study #17-AA-0171. Online: https://go.usa.gov/xp3zV.

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. Contact the Office of Patient Recruitment at (866) 444-2214 (TTY users dial 711) or ccopr@nih.gov. Refer to study #000871-CC. Online: https://go.usa.gov/xJmwY.

Universal Flu Vaccine Study Wants Healthy Volunteers

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.

Volunteer for an MRI Study

Researchers at NIH seek healthy volunteers for an outpatient research study. The study aims to develop improved MRI techniques for studying brain function. The study will also look at new methods for monitoring blood flow to brain regions to understand normal and abnormal brain behaviors. Compensation is provided.
