1Day Volunteers from Around the World
Beginning in early 2020, 1Day Sooner organized tens of thousands of people across the world who were willing to sign up for challenge studies for COVID-19. Since then, our ranks have continued to grow as we support challenge studies for all kinds of infectious diseases. You can join our membership base and receive regular updates on human challenge studies happening around the world and in your area.
