Georgetown University (Washington, D.C.) researchers in the Laboratory on Social and Affective Neuroscience are seeking adults who have volunteered to donate a kidney or bone marrow to participate in a research study. Participation may include behavioral observation, brain imaging using MRI scans, and psychological interviews.

You may be elegible to participate if you: are 18-55 years old, have volunteered to donate a kidney to someone you do not know (someone who is not a friend or relative) and are medically healthy.

Qualified participants may be paid $20 for an initial screening and $150 for laboratory testing that includes computer tasks and a brain scan. We will also cover your travel expenses.

For information please e-mail: LivingDonorStudy@Georgetown.Edu or call (202)687-6853.
