Featured Studies

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.

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) seek participants age five and older with childhood-onset brain injury (e.g.,cerebral palsy) to join a research study. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and/or electroencephalography (EEG) may be used to study brain activity. Learning how the brain controls muscles may help design treatments to help patients with brain injury to move better.

The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research at the NIH Clinical Center is looking for volunteers who need to have their wisdom teeth removed. Researchers will evaluate people who need to have their wisdom teeth removed. The removed wisdom teeth will be studied and used for further research.

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.

Your healthy 8-year-old child is invited to participate in an NIH outpatient research study that examines how puberty affects brain development.

Thyroid cancer accounts for the vast majority of all types of cancer and little is known about the possible genes that may cause the cancer. An estimated 5% of all thyroid cancers are hereditary. If three or more first-degree relatives are affected, there is a greater than 94% chance that these cases are familial non-medullary thyroid cancer (FNMTC). Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a research study to develop the best ways to evaluate, determine best screening strategy, and identify genes that may indicate vulnerability to FNMTC.
