For more than 90 years, the Institute of Child Development (ICD) at the University of Minnesota has been at the forefront of child development research. Our researchers have used what they’ve learned to make positive changes in public policy, education, and parenting practices. But none of these achievements would be possible without help from families like you!
The ICD Participant Pool is a secure, central database that ICD researchers use to contact local families about taking part in studies. As a study participant, your child will play fun games to help researchers at ICD learn more about things like language development, executive function skills, social and emotional development, and more.
