We will ask you to complete a survey before taking the class. We will also ask that you to complete a follow-up, on-line survey at 12, 24, and 36 weeks after you completed the training.
All information you provide will remain completely confidential.
We have provided our contact information below and are happy to schedule a convenient time to discuss this research with you and to answer any questions that you may have.
If applicable: An investigator will be available to meet with you to provide additional study information.

The OBVA lab in building 33 is recruiting participants for multiple upcoming studies: Studies vary regarding time commitment and pay $30/hr.
We are actively recruiting for these studies:
- Konan CCT Optotype
- AVT Normative Data
- NGOA MATB
Interested participants can log in to SONA and fill out the prescreening questionnaire to see available time slots:
OBVA.SONA-systems.com
Any questions can be directed to nicole.thomas@us.kbr.com
FWR20240140H NADHYA Data Collect Event for Hypoxia Detection: The following recruiting announcement is issued in accordance with AFRL IRB-approved research protocol FWR20240140H and is being sent on behalf of the Principal Investigator. Study participants are needed to examine physiological measures and their relationship with self-reported hypoxia symptoms to develop a hypoxia detection system. This study will be conducted by 711 HPW Aerospace Physiology Research Team. Researchers are seeking volunteers from among the Wright-Patterson workforce to participate for no more than 10 hours. Participants will be asked to complete at least five visits where physiological data, cognitive task performance data, and self-reported hypoxia symptoms will be collected during hypobaric hypoxia (reduced oxygen in a low ambient pressure environment) exposures. Individuals that are between the ages of 18-55, between 5’0” and 6’4”, between 88-245 lbs., are altitude chamber qualified, and have a signed DD2992 and training IAW AFMAN 11-403 or equivalent are eligible to participate in the study. The findings from this study will provide insight to develop the hypoxia detection and prediction system. For more information please contact, eli.kelley@us.af.mil.com.
FWR20240063H Effect of Respiratory Muscle Training on Aircrew Breathing System Tolerability and Cognitive Performance: The following recruiting announcement is issued in accordance with AFRL IRB-approved research protocol FWR20240063H and is being sent on behalf of the Principal Investigator. Study participants are needed determine the effects of inspiratory muscle training (i.e., strengthening your breathing muscles) on one’s ability to comfortably breath on an aircraft’s life support system and cognitive performance in hypobaria. This study will be conducted by 711 HPW Aerospace Physiology Research Team. Researchers are seeking volunteers from among the Wright-Patterson workforce to participate for no more than 12 hours. Participants will be asked to complete at least 3 visits where you will wear aircrew flight equipment and perform 2 cognitive tasks and a subject perception questionnaire during a reduction in ambient pressure in the Research Altitude Chamber. Individuals that are between the ages of 18-55, between 5’0” and 6’4”, between 88-245 lbs., are altitude chamber qualified, and have a signed DD2992 and training IAW AFMAN 11-403 or equivalent are eligible to participate in the study. The findings from this study will provide insight into the relationship between breathing on a life support system and cognitive task performance and the impact IMT may have on this relationship. For more information please contact, eli.kelley@us.af.mil.com.

NAMRU-D HAS MULTIPLE RESEARCH STUDIES NEEDING PARTICIPANTS – The Naval Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory at Naval Medical Research Unit-Dayton conducts human-subject research to better understand and mitigate challenges and threats aerospace-operational environments pose to service members. Research areas include visual and auditory sciences, acceleration, altitude effects, motion sickness, vestibular function, en route patient care, back and neck pain and injury, and more. We are located on Wright-Patterson AFB, area B, bldg. 851.
- Compensation and/or other incentives are usually provided for the volunteer’s time (DoD and federal employees must be on leave or off duty status to receive compensation and any applicable bonus. See exception below).
- Off-duty DoD and federal employees: may earn the full compensation.
- On-duty DoD and federal employees: may receive up to $50 per blood draw (if required, not required in all studies). Additionally, select studies offer Hazard Duty Incentive Pay (HDIP) of $150/month.
- Opportunities are open to the public and military community, provided individual study qualifications are met.
- Active duty may list participation as a bullet on their performance reports (EPR/OPR).
- This is a great opportunity to increase professional development and earn joint mission experience while directly supporting Navy research that benefits the warfighter.
