Growing Up in Ireland — The National Longitudinal Study of Children — Phase 2
‘Growing Up in Ireland‘, the National Longitudinal Study of Children, commenced in 2006. The study monitors the development of a (nationally representative) sample of almost 20,000 children – an infant cohort of approximately 11,100 children (initially aged nine months) and a child cohort of 8,570 children (initially aged nine years). The Growing Up in Ireland study is a child development study, with data collections spanning a number of the domains; these include health and physical development, cognitive and educational outcomes, emotional behaviour and development.
The first phase of the study, which will conclude at the end of 2014, involved three data collection sweeps of the infant cohort (at age 9 months, 3 years and 5 years) and two data collection sweeps of the child cohort (at age 9 and 13 years). The first phase of the study also included instrumentation development, specified technical reports relating to the fieldwork and research reports based on analysis of the data.
The second phase will involve the continuation of the study for a specified period beyond 2014. The successful Tenderer will be required to carry out further data collection sweeps of the infant and child cohorts, as well as outputs and activities to be specified. Tenderers will be required to submit complete proposals to include all elements of the study including fieldwork. The second phase of the study is expected to take 5 years.
