Contact your local college. Often, the local college has research studies going on. This is especially true if your local college has a medical school or teaching hospital, but the psychology department of your local school may also be looking for test subjects for lab studies. Call to have your name added to the list of volunteers.

Contact health care companies in your area. For example, Basset Healthcare Network is one company with a presence in multiple areas that is always looking for participants for clinical trials; Aurora Healthcare is another such company. You can submit your name and contact to them (or to other companies in your area) to be contacted by their clinical research departments as a prospective volunteer. To find these companies, you can search in the phone book.
