The DNA, Children + Young People's Health Resource
There's hope in your DNA
Why do some people get sick and others dont? We’re the National Institute of Health Research, and we’re partnering with Anna Freud to find out.
By building a library of young people’s DNA and health data, we’re supercharging research into sickness and health, leading to new cures that could saves lives. And you could be part of it.

We are dedicated to the improvement of physical and mental health in young people and to reduce the risk and impact of chronic illness.

What we're doing
Research into the origins of disease has revealed that most start in childhood, yet most health research is carried out in adults. We are therefore missing clues and opportunities to help prevent illnesses in children and in the adults they will become. This research will help us understand what makes us healthy and what causes us to develop a health condition or disease. Learn more about how genetics affects health.

Who we are
Previously known as the Young People's BioResource and launching in full in 2023, the DNA, Children + Young People's Health Resource (D-CYPHR) is about young people taking part in health research studies that involve genetics. These studies will help improve the health of children and young people living with a wide range of health conditions. #DCYPHR
