FAQs
Who can participate?
We seek healthy adults aged 18-55 for most of our studies. We encourage anyone who is interested in our research to express interest as we often have new studies opening that may be looking for different populations.
What will I be asked to do?
First, you will first come to our clinic for a screening visit. At this visit, we will ask you questions about your personal and medical history. If you are eligible for an enrolling study, we will schedule a consent visit where you will speak with a study physician about the study and sign the study consent form. After signing the form, we will work with you to schedule an enrollment visit where you receive your first dose of vaccine.
How long will I have to participate?
Our studies can last anywhere from a couple of months-2 years. If you go through an informed consent process to join a study, you will be given the specific details for that study.
Do I have to pay anything to participate?
There are no costs associated with participating in a study. We can reimburse travel expenses up to $50 or a 100 mile radius per visit.
Will I be compensated?
In addition to travel expenses, study volunteers are reimbursed for their time and dedication to the study. Most study visits range from $50-150 and payment is given based on number of visits completed. If you go through an informed consent process to join a study, you will be given the specific details for that study.
Are you interested in future studies around the United States?
The purpose of the Red Ribbon Registry is to create a list (or registry) of adults living in the United States who want to participate in current or future HIV studies. They may not be located in Boston.
