Welcome to the Ramsey County Study Location

Welcome to the National Children's Study in Ramsey County, located at the University of Minnesota.

Ramsey County is one of more than 100 communities around the Country participating in the National Children's Study. The University of Minnesota is responsible for conducting the Study in Ramsey County Minnesota.

As of March 1, 2012 enrollment for the pilot phase of the Vanguard Study has come to a close. We have successfully enrolled hundreds of families in Ramsey County. It is with your help that we have reached this very important first goal of enrolling over 5,000 families from throughout the country, including Minnesota.

In the months ahead, the National Children's Study will focus its resources and attention on retaining the families who have joined the Study and gathering participant data. While the enrollment for this phase is closed, there may be opportunities to take part in future National Children's Study research, so please stay in touch through the newsletter, web or social media outlets.
