The NIHR Southampton Clinical Research Facility (CRF) is delivered in a longstanding partnership between the University and University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.
There are several opportunities this month for staff and their families to take part in ground-breaking clinical research studies that will improve treatments and care.
Help investigate paratyphoid fever
Are you 18 to 55 years, and in good health?
You may be eligible to take part in a study to find a vaccine against paratyphoid fever.
The CRF will provide reimbursement for your time, inconvenience, and travel (up to £3,340).
The study is led in Southampton by the university’s Professor Saul Faust.

Protecting against CMV
Help us fight cytomegalovirus (CMV), the leading cause of birth defects around the world.
A Southampton study team, led by Dr Chrissie Jones, is recruiting kids and teens ages 9 to 15 to participate in a clinical trial evaluating an investigational vaccine.

Mpox vaccine trial
Are you healthy and between the ages of 50 and 65?
You may be able to take part in a study investigating vaccines to protect people against mpox (previously called monkeypox).
Taking part will involve 13 visits and will last about 13 months. You will be compensated up to £990 for taking part, with reasonable travel costs reimbursed.
“The vaccines will be immediately important for all at-risk groups, including healthcare workers, and will be important to the whole population if mpox were to spread more widely,” explains Prof Faust.
