High Altitude Effects Research Volunteers Needed ($150/mo): Help us provide aircraft pilots, other aircrew members, high altitude parachute personnel, and astronauts with the best equipment and procedures to accomplish their missions while dealing with the effects of being at high altitude.

The 711th Human Performance Wing is conducting human subject training in the altitude chamber facilities at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH to provide qualified volunteers for DoD-wide-applicable research and equipment test and evaluation.  Volunteers are needed now to become members of the High Altitude Chamber Human Subject Panel (HAC HSP).  HAC HSP procedures, as well as those for research supported by the HAC HSP, are reviewed by the Air Force Research Laboratory Institutional Review Board (AFRL IRB), an independent ethics and regulatory committee.

If you volunteer for the HAC HSP, you will receive $150/mo Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay during the training and for the duration of your membership on the panel for each month in which you take an altitude chamber “flight,” and participate in critical USAF-related research.  You may quit at any time for any reason. Volunteers must be active duty military (or guardsmen or reservists on active duty orders), 22-55 yrs of age, 5’0’’- 6’4’’ tall, 88-298 lbs, and meet other entrance criteria, which we will explain when you contact us at 711HPW.HSP@US.AF.MIL.

YOU can be a part of history and make a difference to improve combat effectiveness of US and allied fighter aircrew!  Email today.
