ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called the NIEHS Repository of Stored Biological Samples for Future Use, is focused on collecting blood and urine samples from healthy individuals to help researchers improve laboratory tests related to human health. By studying samples from people without health issues, scientists can better understand how to develop new tests and improve the handling of samples for future research.

To participate, you need to be at least 18 years old and in good health. The process involves a single visit that lasts up to two hours, during which you will answer questions about your health and provide consent to donate samples. You may have up to 4.5 tablespoons of blood drawn and will also give a urine sample. Some participants might be asked to provide additional samples later if needed. It’s important to know that you’ll be helping advance medical research, and your contributions could make a difference in understanding health and disease.
