Summary

This study collects biological samples like blood, stool, saliva, and skin swabs from 600 healthy volunteers aged 3 to 80. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health will use these samples to design and improve laboratory tests for other studies. Participants may be asked to provide samples multiple times over 5 years, with each visit lasting about an hour.
