If you don’t want to participate in the research yourself you can earn an easy income by recruiting others.

This is more like a PT job though if you really want to make some money but you can work entirely from home by running online ads or posting flyers around campus and just talking with other classmates.

Pros

1. Work from home
2. Easy money- run an ad, screen the person by asking a few questions, submit their info online. When they go for their 1st visit you get paid

Semi-Con

1. Demands some time to get your ads out and screen people but still a great option since you can post ads at any time of day and work between classes rather than picking up an annoying PT job

Layered Health is the company I used to recruit for years ago. Their site is no longer up so I cant refer them but I found a few others if you are seriously interested google medical research recruiting and look into applying at the companies that run studies.
