- Please note that if needing to pull children away from the classrooms, all researchers and their team members visiting the CDL will need to have a background check clearance and immunization records submitted prior. Background checks are filled out and completed in house with collaboration of DCFS. Background checks may take several weeks, please keep this in mind for your project’s timeline.
Research Recruitment
Interested in recruiting children or families for a research project that occurs outside of the CDL program?
Throughout the year, we receive information regarding research opportunities that occur outside of CDL. For example, these projects might be conducted remotely via zoom or in-person at your own lab space. We send out research recruitment information to all enrolled CDL families a few times during the semester through our Academic Mission Connection communications. Please fill out the following form: CDL Research Recruitment (only) Request Form
For any projects that you are wanting to conduct AT the CDL program (the CDL and/or the ECDL building) please complete the Research Proposal Form form instead.
