DESCRIPTION (Provided by Applicant): The goal of the Washington University Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Center (WUIDDRC) is to promote cutting-edge Innovation to understand and treat intellectual and developmental disabilities. WUIDDRC would provide core resources for 44 outstanding investigators conducting 62 projects related to intellectual and developmental disabilities. WUIDDRC has four main goals: 1. Promote research on developmental disabilities, through new research opportunities, excellence in research facilities, intellectual stimulation, and Interdisciplinary collaborations. WUIDDRC will focus on investigators studying three complementary but fundamentally interrelated research theme areas: cerebral connectivity, genetics, and environmental influences. 2. Provide efficient, cost-effective, state-of-the-art services and facilities to enhance the quality and productivity of WUIDDRC investigators through five cores: Administration, Biostatistics and Informatics, Human Clinical Studies, Brain Imaging, and Animal Model Studies. 3. Create a strong and efficient infrastructure to support research activities related to developmental disabilities. WUIDDRC will attract established and new investigators to add new knowledge and develop innovations impacting IDD. The strategy is to create opportunities for novel collaboration in a large pool of leading research scientists. 4. Build a mechanism for effective, regular, and frequent communication and coordination among WUIDDRC investigators, researchers in other organizations, clinical providers for children with developmental disabilities, and the local community. Washington University in St. Louis has a long record of excellence in neuroscience. But it has gaps in infrastructure to integrate and coordinate research targeted to intellectual and developmental disabilities. WUIDDRC would make existing, sophisticated, and novel approaches readily accessible to its investigators to close these gaps. A practical outcome is to focus local talent on a pressing health problem that offers considerable potential to advance understanding of human brain development. WUIDDRC will stimulate advances by creating a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment that will accelerate research to directly impact children with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

描述（由申请人提供）：华盛顿大学知识和发展障碍研究中心（WUIDDRC）的目标是促进尖端创新，以理解和治疗智力和发展障碍。 WUIDDRC将为44位杰出调查人员提供核心资源，从事与智力和发展障碍有关的62个项目。 Wuiddrc有四个主要目标： 1。通过新的研究机会，研究设施，智力刺激和跨学科合作来促进发展障碍的研究。 Wuiddrc将重点关注研究人员研究三个互补但根本相互关联的研究主题领域：脑连通性，遗传学和环境影响。 2.提供有效，成本效益的最先进的服务和设施，以通过五个核心来提高WUIDDRC研究者的质量和生产力：给药，生物统计学和信息学，人类临床研究，脑成像和动物模型研究。 3.创建强大而有效的基础设施，以支持与发育障碍有关的研究活动。 WUIDDRC将吸引已建立的新调查人员，以增加新的知识并发展影响IDD的创新。 该策略是在大量领先的研究科学家中创造新的合作机会。 4。建立一种机制，以在Wuiddrc的研究人员，其他组织的研究人员，发育障碍儿童的临床提供者和当地社区之间进行有效，定期和频繁的沟通和协调。 圣路易斯的华盛顿大学在神经科学方面拥有卓越的卓越记录。 但是，它在基础设施方面存在差距，以整合针对智力和发展障碍的研究。 Wuiddrc将使研究人员容易访问现有，复杂和新颖的方法，以缩小这些差距。 一个实际的结果是将当地人才集中在紧迫的健康问题上，该问题提供了巨大的潜力来提高人们对人脑发育的了解。 Wuiddrc将通过创建一个协作，跨学科的环境来刺激进步，该环境将加速研究以直接影响智力和发育障碍儿童。
