Description
The Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (IDDRC) at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University provides comprehensive support for research relevant to intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The center aims to promote prevention and treatment of developmental disorders by fostering communication, resource sharing, and collaboration among investigators. Researchers benefit from access to specialized core services (including neuroimaging, genomics, behavioral phenotyping, and clinical translational support), discounted fees, educational opportunities, and platforms for research dissemination. The IDDRC also offers pilot study funding for human subjects research, administered in partnership with the Johns Hopkins Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR), to catalyze innovative projects in IDD.
