The research is being done at Wake Forest University, in
Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA. If you're reasonably close to
there, consider donating some blood for the research.

You can't easily track from the URL above to the URL of the
researcher's web sites. If you start at Slashdot instead, you can get
to the page about recruiting donors in two clicks:

http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/06/29/1453241
http://www1.wfubmc.edu/LIFT
http://www1.wfubmc.edu/LIFT/donors/eligibility.htm

They also have a page about recruiting patients, if you need that:

http://www1.wfubmc.edu/LIFT/patients/eligibility.htm

Can anyone understand why recruiting donors happens in mixed case, but
patients are recruited in all caps?

The newspaper articles tend to truncate the name of the institution
that's hosting the research. It's really happening at the Wake Forest
University Baptist Medical Center. Don't be mean to the religious
people, they might save your life.
