The Participators was designed by kids who have participated in research. In fact, all of the charactes are real kids who have first-hand experience with participating in clinical research studies! Follow Hazel and Sam, as they meet Nate at a Children's research hospital and learn more about getting involved in research.

The concept, character design, storyboard and script was developed by Nate Hudson, his mom Antonia Palmer, Linda Warner, and Rich Murray, owner/animator of Rich Toons.

MICYRN and KidsCan/Youth Advisory also provided integral feedback on messaging and design.
