A future generation of Waukesha County residents will be recruited as part of the largest study ever undertaken to monitor and assess environmental effects on children. The National Children’s Study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency, announced Thursday that Waukesha County would become one of six pilot study centers awarded with the responsibility to kick off the study.
The principal investigators of the Waukesha site are from the Medical College of Wisconsin and the Waisman Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
