1Day Sooner is a nonprofit that advocates for people who want to participate in medical research, in particular human challenge trials.[2] 1Day Sooner began in March 2020 in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, organizing people willing to volunteer in human challenge trials as a means to speed development of vaccines against the disease. 1Day Sooner's advocacy for Covid-19 challenge trials was met with both support and opposition among the public, scientists, and bioethicists. Covid-19 challenge trials were ultimately implemented in the United Kingdom.

1Day Sooner also conducts advocacy work on public health policy and for challenge trials in other infectious diseases.
