  • Child Participants Needed: UConn KIDS

    Would you and your child be interested in becoming involved in child behavior/development research at the University of Connecticut? 


    UConn KIDS (Kids in Developmental Science) is a consortium of research labs at the University of Connecticut, across several campuses, who study a wide range of topics such as social, cognitive and language areas. 

    We’re seeking children of all ages and abilities for our studies. You can view a listing of our current studies on our website www.kids.uconn.edu.

    Joining UConn KIDS allows researchers to contact your family about studies that your children are eligible for. 

    Compensation may be offered to parents/ children for research studies that they participate in.
