How do I determine if my child is eligible for the study?

Before applying to be in the study, please check to see if your NMT researcher is still accepting applications.  If so, please give your completed application with all of the above material to your NMT researcher as soon as possible.  Each research site will begin the study as soon as enough qualified applications have been received.  Your researcher will notify you within a few weeks if your child has been selected to participate in the study, and he or she will let you know what you will need to do next.  As children will be randomly selected to be in the study from the pool of eligible children at each research site, no child can be promised or guaranteed a place in the study.
