I also found this 2006 announcement for scleroderma study at ucla. The contact information (if still valid) is: (310) 206-4112 or (866) 909-SCOT or visit www.sclerodermatrial.org.

Here's the link to a more updated volunteer announcement by the scleroderma foundation. Looks like the closest research center is at the city of hope. They're doing stem cell research.
Contact: 1-866-909-SCOT or contact@sclerodermatrial.org. And if you go to this website, there's more information about the research, screening criteria, and risks/benefits. http://www.sclerodermatrial.org/patients/
