Our research labs are very limited in the number of volunteers and the spaces fill-up quickly. Priority is given to students who have some relevant experience. If you are interested in volunteering in a research lab at the Byrd Institute, please review the website to learn about the research conducted at the Byrd Institute. Visit our Faculty Research Page and click on the researchers name to see a summary of their research interests. Send a formal letter of interest and your resume to the researcher who best matches your interests. 

Please be aware that we receive numerous inquiries and cannot guarantee a personal response to each one.

We have a very busy clinical research area however, we do not have volunteer opportunities due to the strict regulations for conducting clinical trials.

We do have limited opportunities for students to observe our doctors or nurse practitioners in our memory clinic. Priority is given to upper class USF students in clinical majors. 

Please email Eileen Poiley if you are are interested and would like more information.

If you are interested in volunteering with our caregiver education initiatives please email Eileen Poiley for information.
