Hello Steph,

Thank you for interest in Roots into the Future! If you haven’t already done so, please go to https://www.23andme.com/roots/ and enter your email address to be notified of updates. We do hope to reopen enrollment, but can’t offer any specifics at the this time.

Any updates on the likelihood and timing of when the project would be reopened? Would love to participate with my family. Much thanks!

Hi Renate,

We would love to have you participate in the Roots into the Future Research Initiative. There is no upgrade required – all you would need to do is take the “Roots into the Future: Health History” survey. Please email roots-help@23andme.com so that we may add you to the study.

We really hope your relatives can join, as well. We are working hard to reopen enrollment as soon as possible. Thanks for your interest!

I’m disappointed that the RITF project wasn’t willing to simply offer me the upgrade, so that I could participate in the study. I had already done testing with 23&Me long before the program started, and I paid for it. I’ve been on the waiting list for quite some time to get kits for family members. I do hope the project will be reopened.
