National Children's Study Queens Vanguard Center

The National Children’s Study (NCS) is a long-term research project that will look at how children’s environment – the air they breathe, the water they drink, and the communities they live in – affects their health and well-being into adulthood. More than 100,000 children from counties across the United States will take part in the Study – from before birth until age 21. The National Children’s Study has been in Queens since January, 2009.
