Uncovering the Mysteries of Malaria Transmission. Volunteer Today!
Malaria can strike hard, but together, we can strike back even harder! Did you know that malaria can cause severe illness if untreated, killing hundreds of thousands of young children every year? We're on a mission to stop its spread for good with vaccines. The NIH is embarking on a groundbreaking clinical study, and we need YOUR help! We're searching for energetic volunteers aged 18-54 to join us in cracking the code of how malaria spreads between humans and mosquitoes, and how our body's defenses respond. Experience cutting-edge science firsthand by being infected with a malaria parasite. Don't worry! You may experience early malaria symptoms (flu-like symptoms like fever and body aches), but our expert team of doctors will closely monitor you to ensure your safety and treat any discomfort.
You may be eligible if you:
- Are between the ages of 18 and 54
- Live in the Washington, D.C., metro area
- Are in good general health
What to expect as a volunteer:
- 3+ day overnight stay and multiple outpatient visits at the NIH Clinical Center over a 1 month period
- Have blood collected for future studies
- Develop early symptoms of malaria
Compensation up to $4,025.
