District of Columbia Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (DC-IDDRC)
This is a new application for the DC-IDDRC, the District of Columbia Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center. The DC-IDDRC is dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDDs) and their families by creating a strong translational research environment optimized for studying and defining the basic causes and mechanisms underlying IDDs, and designing new effective treatments and prevention strategies. To realize this mission, we provide a rich environment for performing fully translational IDD research in the four collaborating DC academic medical centers (Children’s National Hospital (lead), George Washington University, Howard University, and Georgetown University).
