项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overarching goal of the Rose F. Kennedy Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (RFK-IDDRC) is to improve the lives of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities through research and clinical outreach. Forty years of distinguished history in basic research and clinical care as one ofthe flagship IDDRCs of NICHD, coupled with important recent faculty recruitments and facility developments at Einstein have, in concert, sown the seeds of a rennaissance in the Kennedy Center IDD program. Critical to this process is a new Kennedy Center leadership team providing a vision of cooperation and collaboration whereby bench scientists and clinicians work intertwined toward the common goal of translating studies in simple systems to clinical insight and therapies with direct relevance to patient health. Four research themes embodying both the basic science strengths at Einstein and critical IDD-related clinical issues inherent in the Bronx and surrounding populations have been identified, as have key scientific cores essential for supporting research advances in these areas. Research themes are focused on the overlapping and ail-important areas of Autism Spectrum Disorders, Neurogenetic and Seizure Disorders, Nutritional and Environmental Determinants of Brain Development, and Deafness and Communication Disorders. Six scientific cores are designed to provide the means for both human and animal phenotyping, neuron and whole brain imaging, cell and tissue manipulation, and genetic analyses, with each centered strategically to provide advancements in bench research and patient care. Partners in this effort include the powerful research engines of Neuroscience and Genetics and other key academic departments at Einstein along with the Kennedy Center's clinical affiliates - the Children's Evaluation and Rehabiltiation Center (CERC) and the Children's Hospital At Montefiore (CHAM). These clinical centers and their contributing clinical departments serve one of the neediest urban populations in the country, where intellectual and developmental disabilities occur in economically deprived, and underserved racially-mixed minority populations. These remarkable research and clincial resources, coupled with a reinvorgorate and inspired leadership and program, provide the basis for a new era for the Rose F. Kennedy Center as it strives toward its goal of improving the lives of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

描述（由申请人提供）：罗斯·肯尼迪智力和发育障碍研究中心 (RFK-IDDRC) 的总体目标是通过研究和临床推广改善智力和发育障碍儿童的生活。作为 NICHD 旗舰 IDDRC 之一，四十年来在基础研究和临床护理方面的杰出历史，加上爱因斯坦最近重要的教员招聘和设施开发，共同为肯尼迪中心 IDD 项目播下了复兴的种子。这一过程的关键是新的肯尼迪中心领导团队提供了合作与协作的愿景，让基础科学家和临床医生紧密合作，以实现将简单系统中的研究转化为与患者健康直接相关的临床见解和治疗的共同目标。已经确定了四个研究主题，既体现了爱因斯坦的基础科学优势，也体现了布朗克斯及周边人群固有的与 IDD 相关的关键临床问题，以及支持这些领域研究进展所必需的关键科学核心。研究主题集中在自闭症谱系障碍、神经遗传和癫痫症等重叠且重要的领域，大脑发育、耳聋和沟通障碍的营养和环境决定因素。六个科学核心旨在为人类和动物表型分析、神经元和全脑成像、细胞和组织操作以及遗传分析提供手段，每个核心都战略性地集中在实验室研究和患者护理方面取得进展。这项工作的合作伙伴包括神经科学和遗传学的强大研究引擎以及爱因斯坦的其他关键学术部门以及肯尼迪中心的临床附属机构 - 儿童评估和康复中心 (CERC) 和蒙蒂菲奥里儿童医院 (CHAM)。这些临床中心及其贡献的临床部门为该国最贫困的城市人口之一提供服务，这些人口中智力和发育障碍发生在经济贫困、服务不足的种族混合少数群体中。这些卓越的研究和临床资源，加上充满活力和富有灵感的领导力和计划，为罗斯·F·肯尼迪中心的新时代奠定了基础，努力实现改善智力和发育障碍儿童的生活的目标。
