Early Insights Study
The Early Insights Research Study aims to understand brain development in infants and toddlers who may or may not develop intellectual or developmental delay. This study will use a non-invasive brain scanning technology called magnetoencephalography (MEG). We hope the information gained from this study may lead to possible treatment strategies for children who have intellectual or developmental delay.
PEDSnet Research Prioritization Strategy
PEDSnet and DBPNet seek youth (13-24), parents, and clinicians/scientists for the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) Research Prioritization Study. The goal is to develop a prioritized list of research questions that will immediately impact patient health outcomes, focusing on children with IDD.
Participants will answer open-ended questions on Viva Engage, a Microsoft platform, to share their thoughts and opinions. The study is entirely online, and parents and youth will be compensated for their time. To participate or learn more, complete our eligibility screener.
SPARK: Simons Foundation Powering Autism Research for Knowledge
The mission of SPARK is to ignite research at an unprecedented scale to improve lives by advancing our understanding of autism. To join this national autism research cohort, individuals with a professional diagnosis of autism and their biological family members will be asked to share information about their medical and family history, as well as provide a DNA sample.
