Research Volunteer Application Process

Before You Apply

Research volunteer applicants must be officially invited by a UCLA Health Sciences faculty or staff supervisor before beginning the application process.

To apply, you must receive an Opportunity Link from your supervisor for a specific volunteer assignment. The Opportunity Link will allow you to begin the required prescreening and onboarding process.

If you have not received an Opportunity Link, please contact your supervisor. Applicants may not submit a Research Volunteer Scope of Duties (RVSD) Form on their own behalf.
