If you are interested in participating in a research study, please review the projects currently seeking volunteers.
Dr. Limberg’s Research Projects
The Nutrition and Exercise Physiology Department is recruiting healthy women who are non-nicotine users between the ages of 18-70 for a research study. This project examines how blood flow in women changes during pre-menopause, perimenopause, and post-menopause. This study has one 60-min in-person screen visit (Gwynn Hall) and one 5-hour research visit (Clinical and Translational Sciences Unit at the University of Missouri Hospital). Participants will be compensated up to $150 for their time and effort.

The Nutrition and Exercise Physiology Department is recruiting healthy women who are non-nicotine users between the ages of 30-70 for a research study. This project examines how blood flow changes in women during pre- and perimenopause. This study has one 30-min informational Zoom, one 60-min in-person screen visit and one 7-hour research visit at the MU Campus. Participants will be compensated up to $250 for their time and effort.

The Nutrition and Exercise Physiology Department is seeking participants for a University of Missouri study on blood flow and oxygen in women experiencing menopause and perimenopause. Join us for one 60-min in-person screen visit and three 5-hour research visits at Gwynn Hall. Participants receive body composition and blood panel results, plus up to $250 for their time.

The Nutrition and Exercise Physiology Department is recruiting healthy women with obesity that are non-nicotine users and between the ages of 18-45 for a research study. This project examines how blood flow changes in response to low oxygen (similar to sleep apnea) in individuals of normal weight or with obesity. This study has one 30-min screen visit via Zoom, one 1-hour in-person screen visit, and one 6-hour research visit at the Clinical Translational Research Unit. Participants will be compensated up to $250 after completion and provided cholesterol, blood sugar, and body composition results.

Dr. Kanaley’s Research Projects
The Department of Nutrition and Exercise Physiology is recruiting obese and non-obese adults between the ages of 18-45 years for a research study examining the effect of exercise-induced lactate on brain health. All participants will complete a screening visit and two additional study visits. Complete this survey to see if you may qualify. Participants will be compensated up to $100 for their time and effort.
