If you have an inherited disease that is affecting your blood or bone marrow cell that generate blood cells, you may be eligible to participate in this research study. Participants will be screened with a medical history, physical examination and blood and urine tests.

The National Institutes of Health seeks healthy volunteers to participate in a research study for the collection of blood components such as platelets and plasma. Doctors are studying new techniques needed to develop gene therapy and other treatments for certain inherited immune system diseases. All participants will be screened with a medical history, physical examination, blood and urine tests.

Investigators at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute are seeking healthy volunteers, 18-60 years old, who are interested in participating in a study to collect mobilized blood stem cells that will be used in the laboratory to develop new treatments for blood diseases.

Investigators at The National Institutes of Health (NIH) are conducting a research study to understand taste and smell alterations and how they differ in obese versus non-obese individuals.

Investigators at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) are enrolling patients with advanced hepatocellular cancers (HCC), in a clinical trial using engineered immune cells, also known as chimeric antigen receptor T-cells or CAR-T cells. In this study, your immune T-cells are collected and modified to target Glypican-3 (GPC3), a protein marker found on the surface of HCC tumors. Researchers hope the altered cells will help identify and fight the cancer cells.

NIH study # 000479-H investigates the impact of treatments intended to cure sickle cell disease (SCD) on organ function. If you or your loved one has SCD, we invite you to call us to learn more about this observational study.

Researchers at @NIDDKgov are studying new methods in treating thyroid cancer that has spread outside the thyroid – to the lymph nodes, lungs, or bones We are now enrolling patients age 18 years and older with thyroid cancer that spread outside the thyroid. All study tests and procedures are provided at no cost. 

Do you or your child experience recurring fever with mouth sores (canker sores), sore throat, or swollen neck glands? These could be symptoms of PFAPA, the most common periodic fever syndrome in children.

Dr. Manthiram and her team at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) seek volunteers who are one month and older (parental consent required for minors) to participate in a research study to better understand PFAPA. Compensation provided. Participants can join from home anywhere in the USA or internationally.

To look at a broad range of traits in people who are healthy people and people with alcohol problems. To study them for potential eligibility for other research protocols conducted at the NIH Clinical Center.
