The EOI is specifically to invite expressions of interest for EOPS - A \(Children of the 2020's\), the first panel which will collect data from parents of children who are age approximately 9 months and follow them until ages 5/6 i\.e\. the earliest years through to primary school\. Whilst there will be synergies between the various panel of EOPS, Children of the 2020's is a stand-alone project\.

Project design and set up will commence from late November with piloting in April and mainstage fieldwork planned for June - October 2021, subject to agreed design and approach with the appointed contractor\.
