How Can I Help MANCS?

 

For Health Professionals

Conducting the National Children’s Study effectively in our five counties depends on having public support for this important research effort.  We need health professionals who are willing to volunteer to make speaking engagements in our five counties to tell people why this research is important, and why people in the counties should make every effort to support the study, or participate in the study if called upon. The audiences may consist of health professionals like yourself or might be lay people.   We will provide training and a powerpoint presentation for you to use. 

If you are interested in this opportunity, please provide your name and contact information by sending an email to mancs@epi.msu.edu. A member of our community engagement team will contact you with further information 

 

For Non-Health Professionals

The National Children’s Study must restrict its enrollment to women who live in specific areas of the five study counties; the NCS cannot enroll volunteers.  However, we do appreciate the support of lay people who can describe the importance of this study to the general public and to women of child-bearing age in our five counties.   Such volunteers may have a child, or know of a child, who suffers from one of the conditions to be studied in the NCS, or may just feel that this kind of research in child health is important.  If you would like to consider taking on this important task, please let us know. We will provide both training and information to use in giving talks.  There may also be other ways in which you can volunteer to help the NCS. 

If you are interested in this opportunity, please provide your name and contact information by sending an email to mancs@epi.msu.edu. A member of our community engagement team will contact you with further information
