A local Community Advisory Board (CAB) has worked with the research team in Westmoreland County since the University of Pittsburgh received the grant to implement the National Children’s Study. The CAB members represent local businesses, non-profit organizations, social service providers, hospital systems, and local government. The National Children’s Study in Westmoreland thanks our CAB members for their commitment to the Study.
