Visit Information

Because the Family & Development Lab is not currently running any active studies, we do not have specific visit information to share, but will update this section before we begin any new projects with community participants. It’s important to us that you know what you can expect before signing up for a project, and to let you know all the ways we work to protect your personal information. If you’d like to join our mailing list for future participation opportunities, you can complete the registration form and we will reach out when opportunities become available.

In the meantime, feel free to email us and we’ll do our best to answer any questions you may have about participating in any of our projects. You’re also free to ask us whatever questions you have at any point before, during, or after participating.

Am I committing to anything by registering?

Absolutely not! Registering your family is simply a way of indicating you would like more information. If you register and are eligible for an upcoming project, we will contact you and explain all the details. You can decide at that point whether you would like to participate or not. If you indicate on your registration form that you would like to be contacted about other studies in the Family & Development Lab for which you are eligible, we will contact you in the future when those opportunities arise. As always, you’re free to decide whether or not you would like to participate.

Directions to FamDev

​​​​Our lab is located in the Science Complex on the Providence College campus. Our building is close to the PC main gate on the corner of River Avenue and Eaton Street. We will meet you in the parking lot after you check in with security at the gate​ (they can help direct you where to go). We will do our best to reserve you a parking spot right in front of our building and we’ll meet you in the parking lot and walk your family into the building.
