BCM Joins Largest Children's Study
Researchers will gather environmental and social information including clinical health history, nutrition and demographics, as well as biologic and environmental samples including air, dust and soil from the participants' environments. "The first phase of the National Children's Study will center around pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes, early infant health and early neurodevelopment," said Claudia Kozinetz, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Pediatrics at BCM and the Principal Investigator of the Harris County Study Center. |

The National Institutes of Health has launched the largest U.S. research project to study the genetic and environmental effects on child health, and Baylor College of Medicine has been chosen to lead the study's local consortium. Overall, the study will involve at least 100,000 children over a 21-year period. Locally, researchers have received $14.4 million over five years to enroll approximately 1,000 children. With future funding, an additional 1,000 will be enrolled.
