Participate in Research

AISSR seeks to advance scientific understanding through responsible and transparent research.

Global Research Participation, Volunteering & Partnerships

The American Institute for Scientific and Social Research (AISSR) welcomes individuals, researchers, universities, nonprofit organizations, civil society organizations (CSOs), nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), grassroots initiatives, and community groups worldwide to explore opportunities for research participation, volunteering, and institutional collaboration.

Volunteers & Paid Research Participants

We welcome expressions of interest from individuals worldwide who wish to volunteer or participate in compensated research studies. Opportunities may include social surveys, interviews, community initiatives, and interdisciplinary research projects. Eligibility, availability, and compensation depend on the specific project.

Research Recruitment & Institutional Collaboration

We also welcome universities, research institutions, independent researchers, nonprofit organizations, civil society groups, and other organizations seeking volunteers or research participants.

AISSR is open to exploring collaboration in participant recruitment, international research, community-based studies, public health, education, social welfare, and other areas of public interest.

Important Notice

No specific research study is currently open for enrollment. Expressions of interest do not guarantee participation, compensation, employment, or institutional partnership.

Any future research recruitment will provide clear information about eligibility, participation requirements, duration, compensation, data collection, confidentiality, and withdrawal procedures before informed consent is obtained.

Individuals, research teams, universities, civil society organizations, grassroots groups, and other institutions worldwide are welcome to contact us.

A person reads it, and you will hear either way.

What taking part would involve

Stated in advance, because somebody deciding whether to volunteer should not have to ask.

Eligibility

Each study states who it is for and screens against written criteria rather than a recruiter’s judgement.

Consent

What the study asks, how long it takes, what is recorded and what happens to it — explained before anybody agrees, with a copy to keep.

Withdrawal

A participant can stop at any point without giving a reason, and is told at the outset what happens to data already collected.

Privacy

Identifiers are kept apart from responses at every stage. Each study states who can reach the data and for how long it is kept.

Questions and complaints

One named post is the contact for participant questions and complaints, so neither goes to a general mailbox.
