TransYouth Project & Gender Development

Our research lab is conducting several studies about gender development in childhood. The TransYouth Project is our largest project and is the first large-scale, national, longitudinal study of socially-transitioned transgender children to date. For more about the TransYouth Project check out our Frequently Asked Questions about the TYP. We are following a cohort of about 300 children from 45 U.S. states and several Canadian provinces for 20 years.

In addition to that project we are recruiting new families for new studies on gender development both in the New Jersey region and nationally. Right now we are recruiting children and teens who have diverse gender expressions and/or identities. We are also recruiting children, teens and young adults with variations in sex development (e.g., intersex, with a DSD, with CAH).

If you and your family are interested in participating or have more questions feel free to complete the sign-up sheet below or email us at [email protected] so we can tell you more about our work. For more, check out our Frequently Asked Questions page!
