(KSL News) -- The largest-ever effort to study children's health may be dead.
Two Utah medical centers were supposed to be major players in the research, but President Bush's budget proposal for 2007 doesn't contain a penny for the study and actually directs the study be closed down.
The study would follow children from birth to old age, even death. The first 21 year phase would cost 2.5 billion dollars.
Children's advocates vow to lobby Congress to obtain the money to keep the study alive.
