Blood donation for research use
This study collects blood from healthy volunteers to be used in laboratory research. Donating blood for research is similar to regular blood donation, but some people who cannot donate for transfusions may still be able to donate for research.

This trial uses a special blood-removal procedure called apheresis to collect either plasma or white blood cells for laboratory research. It may help scientists understand infection or immune-related processes by providing specific blood components for study.
This research study collects blood cells from adults with HIV and their family members to understand why some people's immune systems control HIV better than others. Researchers will use your cells to study HIV immunity and develop better treatments.
This trial helps the NCI-Frederick research labs by collecting and sharing samples from healthy, eligible donors. Your samples are used in “in vitro” studies, which means experiments done outside the body (in the lab).
This study collects white blood cells from healthy volunteers every 56 days to help researchers understand how aging affects the immune system. Your cells will be studied in a lab to learn more about natural aging processes.
This study tests improved ways to select and collect bone marrow cells from healthy donors for use in transplants. Researchers are looking for healthy volunteers to donate cells that may help people who need bone marrow transplants.
