Partnering with the Scientific Community |

One of the goals of NOMOTC is to cooperate with and participate in research projects which involve multiples and/or their families. The following researchers have approached the National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc. with hopes of recruiting participants for their studies. These researchers all have an approved contract on file with NOMOTC.
If you or your multiples have the proper qualifications and wish to participate, please contact these researchers directly for further details concerning their studies. Contacting a researcher doesn't obligate you to participate. You do not need to be a member of NOMOTC to participate in these studies. Please keep in mind that two of the main purposes of NOMOTC are research and education. Your participation in these studies is encouraged.
