Screening: |
|
Not everyone will qualify.
You
must be able to pass a 10 year FBI background check and have no
felony convictions.
Screening process is quite lengthy and
requires several visits. Once you have passed most
screening visits, your airfare will be paid for and you will start
getting paid for some visits. There is one final visit before
check-in which is the orientation at which point you will actually
see where you will be hanging out for the duration of the study. |

This is the infamous Nasa bedrest study. There are
several different studies with one or two recruiting at a time. The
main study lasts about 115 to 119 days and pays around $17,500 plus
travel expense reimbursement.
When you check in for the study, there is a week and
a half period at which point you prepare for the bed rest part of
the study. The bed rest portion is 90 days and then you will
have about two weeks of recovery before you are discharged.
There are a few outpatients during the year following your discharge
but the travel is arranged and paid for.
They also have shorter studies.
There have been numerous documentaries and news reports about the
Nasa Bedrest Study. |
