Visa sponsorship

[debola 3]

Hi everyone, Can I get visa sponsorship to the United States to be used as a human subject for experiments?

Never heard of that.  What kind of experiments?  What kind of sponsorship?

Plenty of experimentation (aka research studies) done overseas.

Yes exactly. I really want to know if it's possible to get a sponsorship to be used as a human subject (human guinea pig) for researches and experiments in the United States

Probably a B-1 for business purpose..

 

Do you have a rare talent/condition ? 
 

Could you convince Lagos Embassy that you intend to go back ?

Well this is probably among my top ten most interesting questions asked on VJ.

 

Never heard of there being a shortage of subjects in the US, and I doubt the stipend paid would be enough to cover accommodation/food expenses for anyone. But I’d be interested to see if there is a definitive answer.

No, you cannot.

Clinical trial participants in the US are generally not paid.   There are actually extremely strict international laws governing clinical trials.

I believe there are research centers in your country where you can easily volunteer and they'll be happy to have you.

 

My country has some. They'll easily take you or does it have to be US?

That’s interesting, because in the UK they are (or were at any rate at one stage, no idea of that’s changed), and pretty well paid at that - I know people who did that to save up for big long distance overseas trips, etc.Maybe OP should investigate the UK as an option.

Nigeria can't conduct common treatment not to talk of medical trials and experimental researches, It's risky

Yes, possibly.   Here in the US, there are very strict policies related to coercion and consent for human trial subjects, which is why ‘payment’  is not a thing.   
 

btw, I’m looking at this from the perspective of pharmaceutical/ medical device trials, because OP said “medical experimentation.”   Obviously, consumer or other research is not subject to the same type of rigor when it comes to human subjects.

 

I can’t see any company, medical or research institution ever sponsoring people to participate in trials for visas of any type.   They sponsor researchers and clinicians, not human subjects.

And you're interested to coming to the US where at least 200,000 people are killed yearly by medical errors?
