How can I help?
Consider becoming a study participant. We are looking for healthy, uninfected people, between the ages of 18-50.  We need people of both genders and all ethnic and racial backgrounds. Before a volunteer enters a study, it is thoroughly explained in an education session and all the questions are answered. Participating in a study is completely voluntary and attending an education session does not obligate you to further participation.

If you are not interested in enrolling in a trial but would still like to help out, you can participate on our Community Advisory Board.  The board is made up of community members that volunteer their time once a month to give us feedback into our program.  They also go to community events to tell others about what we do.  Lastly, they look over protocols and make sure the community is being well-represented in our research. 

If you would like to receive more information, there are three ways to reach us:

by phone
(615) 322-HOPE (4673) or 1-888-559-HOPE (4673).
