The University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital Center for Disabilities and Development (CDD) and the Iowa Neuroscience Institute (INI) are joining forces with other researchers, clinicians, physicians, and scientists across the UI enterprise to form a new center aimed at advancing care for Iowans with IDDs. The center will be funded over 5 years by a $6.2 million dollar grant from the National Institutes of Health. The new center, dubbed Hawkeye Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center, or Hawk-IDDRC, will partner with CDD to integrate clinical care, teaching, and community outreach using a unique model found at only a handful of other health care institutions in the country.
